The TONE of a poem is roughly equivalent to the MOOD it creates in the reader. Much depends, however, on interpretation. A POEM gives it's readers clues about how to feel about it.
The TONE may be based on a number of other conventions that the POEM uses, such as REPETITION.
TONE is not in any way divorced from the other elements of POETRY. TONE is directly dependent on them.
---------------------------------------------------
THEME is what the poem is all about.
The THEME of the poem is the central idea that the POET wants to convey. It can be a story, or a thought, or a description of something or someone.
The THEME is anything which the POEM is all about.
--------------------------------------------------
POEMS will often convey IDEAS and THOUGHTS using SYMBOLS.
A SYMBOL can stand for many things at one time and leads the reader out of a systematic and structured method of looking at things.
Often a SYMBOL used in the POEM will be used to create such an effect.
