Answer 1

-A theme is a poet’s message to readers through a poem.
-A theme is the imagery that evokes emotion in a poem

Answer 2

-A theme is a statement about a subject of a poem.

-A theme is a poet’s message to readers through a poem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theme is the message (usually stated in one single sentence) a literary work (like a poem) conveys about a subject. It is also the author's life lesson or moral of the poem or story to readers. Poems usually have more than one theme, but they are not explicitly stated so we, the readers, have to figure them out.

In the Cinderella Story, for example, one of the subject that it has is "Dreams" and one statement and message about that topic is "Dreams can come true."
