You look at various things when trying to analyze poems.

First you look at the central idea of the poem and how it relates to the title.

Here Amends relates to the central idea of the poem, because the moon is trying to make amends for the long and tiring day.

Then you can look at the description and the language used as well as the choice of words.

So Amends has personification, Imagery, Similies and Metaphors and other literary features.

You can look at certain adjectives and verbs used and say why they are effective.

Look at the Mood/atmosphere of the poem and how the words help create this mood or effect for the reader.

Here the choice of words are very subtle at times but it varies throughout the poem. This gives the reader the idea of some kind of flow. You can see the movement through out the poem be it by the pouring, flicking , picking or exploding.

Then you can look at more technical features of the poem

the structure is split up into 4 stanzas with 4 lines each.
