Hi Robin,

You're not disturbing anyone, this forum was set up so people could ask questions like you have.

Here are some tips that should get you on your way:

Read the poem first.

Think about it for a minute.

Read it again.

Read it out loud.

Research the poet.
Read about the poet’s life, history, style as you begin your analysis. Often the poet's personal life is a direct impact on his or her work. But be careful: do not read too much of a poet's fact into their fiction.

Research the poem.
Research and read about the poem. Other literary criticism can help you in your analysis. Remember not to plagiarise. You must come up with a new thought, a new analysis, for the poem. Simply copying someone else's ideas will not be sufficient.

Create an outline.
Your outline should consist of a thesis statement, an introduction, three pieces of analysis (evidence), and a conclusion bringing it all together. Put these basic sentences into an outline structure, which will make the writing of the analysis much easier.

Write the paper.
Once you have researched your poet, poem, and organized your thoughts, you are ready to write the paper. Follow your outline and you will have no trouble completing the analysis.
