Anyone know any good poetry techniques?

The title explains it pretty much :biggrin:

Read through the question and poem initially.
Then, try to work out the literal meaning of the poem.
When you've done that, have another look through and try to see if there is a metaphorical meaning? Major clues to this are going to be extended metaphors.
Once you've worked out the meanings, start finding details in the poem that support those meanings, and analyse them.
