Wild nights - Wild nights! by Emily
Dickinson
Wild nights - Wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile - the winds -
To a Heart in port -
Done with the Compass -
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden -
Ah - the Sea!
Might I but moor - tonight -
In thee!

Annotation Instructions

  1. Choose a short poem (15-20 lines). Copy it onto a half-slice of paper and use the other half for writing an analysis.
  2. Read the poem aloud.
  3. Identify the following elements and make notations: rhyme scheme, figurative language, images, symbols, sound devices (alliteration, consonance, assonance, rhythm, onomatopoeia, off rhyme).
  4. Circle any part of the poem that stands out, confuses you, or is important.
  5. Write questions in the margin; highlight unusual words; mark phrases that indicate the poem’s meaning. 6.Determine the poem’s theme and draw arrows to the lines that support the theme.

I. Topic sentence stating the title of the poem, the author, and the poem’s theme.

A. Evidence #1: Identify an important line, poetic device, rhyme scheme, etc.

  1. Analysis/Interpretation #1: Explain how the evidence supports the designated theme.
  2. Analysis/Interpretation #2: Explain how the evidence supports the designated theme.

B. Evidence #2: Identify an important line, poetic devices, rhyme scheme.

  1. Analysis/Interpretation #1: Explain how the evidence supports the designated theme.
  2. Analysis/Interpretation #2: Explain how the evidence supports the designated theme.
