What is the poem's theme or central idea? How does the author use of figurative language or other poetic devices and what effect do those have on the poem? How would you describe the tone of the poem? How would you describe the structure or organization of the poem?

A poem can be anything. If the poem is about spring and how beautiful spring is, then the tone is excited. If the poem is about a dark forest on a cold winter's night, the tone may be gloomy or morbid. It really depends what the poem is about. In order to know what the tone is, look for words that stand out or look for the context clues(phrases) that identify the adjective or noun.
