Tone - A poem's tone is the attitude that its style implies.
Example:
You ask for a poem.
I offer you a blade of grass.
You say it is not good enough.
You ask for a poem.
I say this blade of grass will do.
It has dressed itself in frost,
It is more immediate
Than any image of my making.
_Brian Patten_
=> Brian Patten's 'A Blade of Grass' has a tone of sad acceptance toward the loss of childlike wonder that could have accepted the blade of grass, for example
Significance – Tone helps us to reveal the outlook of a poem and its poet’s emotion at the meantime. A
tone speaks for the poem and let it evokes a strong emotion for the readers.
