   Write about a poem that deals with an important theme. Discuss how the poet’s exploration of the theme deepens your understanding and appreciation of the text.

   Answers to questions on poetry should address relevantly the central concern(s)/theme(s) of the text(s) and be supported by reference to appropriate poetic techniques such as: imagery, verse form, structure, mood, tone, sound, rhythm, rhyme, characterisation, contrast, setting, symbolism, word choice . . .
