● Theme- The central idea, message, or underlying meaning of a poem, often

these contexts greatly influence the themes, styles, and messages of the poems.
Here are the things you need to remember when identifying them:
1. Biographical Context
● Includes the life experiences, background, beliefs, and personal
history of the writer.
● Understanding the writer's biography can provide insights into the

motivations, emotions, and perspectives behind their poems.

 ● This context may influence the theme, subject, and style of the writer.
● Personal experiences often shape the themes and emotions explored
in poetry, making biographical context crucial for understanding the
writer's perspective and creative process.
2. Historical Context
● Refers to the time period, events, social conditions, and cultural
movements in which the poem was written.
● Examining historical context helps readers understand how societal
changes, political events, or cultural shifts may have influenced the
poet's perspective and message.
3. Socio-Cultural Context
● Refers to the social, cultural, and ideological environment in which
the poem is produced and received.
● Socio-cultural context includes factors such as societal norms,
values, beliefs, traditions, and cultural identities.
● This context may influence the themes, symbols, language choices,
and interpretations of the poem, as well as how the poem is received
and understood by different audience.

Tartanilla
By Ralph Semino Galan

I miss the sound of hoof steps

Pattering on the pavement like rain.

How I long for the sweet scent

Of summer rain between late dusk

And early evening, like croaking

Of the frogs, evoking memories lost

In the stars. Perhaps the heroes too

Have flown to the skies as comets

Acquiring pegasic wings no

carriage Can resist, no memory
can recall.
