You're going to need:
  >Personal Voice - there's no wrong way of reading a poem; link it to yourself
  >Appreciation of the Text - the emotional effect and power it has to change
                                                 our perception

Why? This is the author's purpose
  > Talk about how the author may have had some sort of experience incorporated with the speech.

Language Features
  > There's no grammar in the poem
  > It's got a stream of consciousness
  > How the text makes us feel different emotions

  > The structure goes
         - The message of the text
         - Author's purpose
         - Tone
