INTRO TO POETRY

What is the significance of the title?

The title of the poem, "Out Beyond Ideas" means beyond what people normally think. It sums up the poem as well.

What is the tone of the poem?

The tone of the poem is peaceful. It gives off the vibe that is careless and easygoing.

What is the mood?

The mood makes me feel thoughtful. It has a sort of existential feeling to it as well.

Is there a shift?

It starts sort of literal, as simple as a sentence that requires no thinking. Then it gets deep. The poem is small but still says a lot.

What's the theme?

I think the theme is that everyone is different. Everyone has their own thoughts and interpretations to things.
