Thought-provoking Poems

Metaphysical poetry dates back 17th century. Poets used unusual conceit and metaphysical wit. The love was physical love,not courtly love-platonic love. They developed ideas with detailed and complex ways. John Done was one of these poets. His poems "The Flea","Holy Sonnets" and George Herbert's poem "Easter Wings"  are the examples of this kind of poetry. Once we read these poems,firstly maybe we can't understand anything or we understand semantic meaning but not pragmatic meaning. In these kind of poems,poets try to tell something with a metaphoric meaning. So they are thought-provoking.
