I can unlock implied meanings, or sub-text, in poetry.

Show transcript
Sub-text is the implicit meaning, rather than the explicit meaning. Understanding what symbols represent can help you to understand the deeper meaning of the poem. Personal possessions of loved ones can be used as symbols that represent the person. Understanding extended metaphors can help you to understand the sub-text of the poem.
