An explanation of the meaning and/or message of another person's artistic or creative work.
Example:
(excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's "If")
"If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss"
My interpretation of this excerpt is that the speaker is trying to tell us that you should live a life full of risks and not be afraid to risk everything that you have, for the reward may be great.
Significance:
Interpretations in poetry are extremely necessary because this allows every reader to take their own unique message or lesson from the same poem. This allows unlimited imagination from both the author and the reader.
