Tone

Tone:
The tone of a poem is the mood of the poem.

Usage:
"I could kill you."
(if he screams the line it might mean murderous anger)
(if he murmurs the line in a low, even voice it might mean cool power)
(if he laughts as he says the line, it might just be a joke)

Importance:
The tone of a poem is very important when reading a poem. It is essential that the tone of the poem matches the words of the pome, otherwise the reader might be confused or it could send a completely different message to the reader. The tone of a poem can give you hints about the poem and it could also give you a feeling of a poem, which is part of imagery.
