Keep going. You've made a really good start. This is the part of the assignment you're into now:
...[1] each concrete image should be identified as to which sense it connects to. Then, [2] describe what each of the images evokes from you. [3] Be certain to use details from the poem to illustrate your analysis.
You need to complete your listing. Once you've done that, you'll be ready to decide how you want to present your analysis.
A. You can keep it in list form, but with lots of detail for each word/term.
B. You can make a chart (maybe in 5 parts, 1 for each of the senses).
C. You can write it all up in sentences, perhaps one paragraph per stanza.
I am still confuse but this is what I got and I chose poem Snow Day by Bill Collins. Identify every concrete image within the poem. Remember that a concrete image is one that uses either sight, sound, taste, touch, or smell, so each concrete image should be identified as to which sense it connects to. Then, describe what each of the images evokes from you. Be certain to use details from the poem to illustrate your analysis. You may use a list, chart, or narrative for this analysis. Be certain to note which poem you are analyzing.
