Title of poem Author’s Name Summary of poem Tone of poemMood of poemFig. Language “Heart! We will forget him!” Emily Dickinson The speaker is talking to her heart about forgetting a man and the way he made her feel. The speaker’s tone is determined. She is telling her heart to forget him in “Haste.” Her mind knows her heart is where the emotion is. The mood is maybe a little sad, but more hopeful. The speaker uses words like “We will” and “I will” to help the reader feel her strength and purpose. Personification: the speaker addresses her heart like it can participate in a conversation. By personifying her heart, the speaker acknowledges the power of emotion—the heart is really in charge. “The Moon was but a Chin of Gold” “since feeling is first” “Simile” “The Taxi” “miss rosie” “this morning”
