Definition: Tone is the emotion/feelings that a poem implies.
Example: "It was a dark and stormy night...."
This phrase has a mysterious tone.
Significance: The tone of a poem greatly impacts the emotions a reader feels. A poem with a happy tone can make a reader feel happy, while a poem with a sad tone can make a reader feel sad. Even further, a poem with a happy tone but a sad meaning creates literary irony.
