METAPHYSICAL POETRY

This week our topic was metaphysical poetry.  As fas as I understood, They didn’t follow courlty love tradition. They thought love as phsical. This makes them different from others.  Whenever we read poetry about love, They always tell us platonic love, but these talked about physical.

In these, There is a philosophical relationship among the creator, created and surrounding. John Donne and George Herbert are major poets of this period. They wrote poems by unusual style. Generally, The poems rely on wit.  Language is partly simple. As an example, The Flea  by John Donne is quite different and strange poem. The poet used effectively flea to describe love. As we understand, He illustrate and develop ideas in a detailed and over complex way.

Nowadays, people begin to think love as physical. Platonical love is on decrease. When I look this situation, These poetries had addressed the right issues.
