POETRY TERMS- TONE

 Tone
Definition: Any sound that considered to its quality, pitch, strength, source.

Examples: 
 My foot fell asleep

right inside of my shoe

from sitting around

having nothing to do.

It hadn't drank warm milk

nor tried to count sheep;

it just wasn't busy,

and fell right asleep.

The poem above has the tone of humour.

Significance: Tone helps poets to express their attitude, emotion or opinion to something or someone which can easily send the message that poet wanted to convey.

awake morning by night,
or day.
I am Las Vegas
My hand is the sand.
