Modern poetry is free in form and rich in connotation, and image management is more important than rhetoric application. Compared with ancient poetry, although they all feel things and reflect the soul, they completely break through the characteristics of ancient poetry, which are "gentle and sincere, with no complaints", and emphasize more on free and open, straightforward statements and intangible communication between reason and reason. The mainstream of modern poetry is freestyle new poetry, which is a new product. The form of free-style new poetry adopts vernacular, which breaks the shackles of old-style poetry, and the content mainly reflects new life and expresses new ideas.
Classification of modern poetry
1, narrative poem
There are relatively complete story lines and characters in poetry, which are usually expressed by the poet's passionate singing style. Epic, story poem and poetic novel all belong to this category. Epics such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in ancient Greece, story poems such as Wang Gui and Li Xiangxiang by China poet Li Ji, Lacny by Monkey King and Mingzhe, and poetic novels such as Don Juan by English poet george gordon byron.
2. Lyrics
Social life is mainly reflected by directly expressing the poet's thoughts and feelings, and it is not required to describe complete stories and characters. Such as love songs, carols, elegies, elegies, pastoral songs, satirical poems, etc.
3. Metric poetry
Poetry is written according to certain formats and rules, and there are strict rules on the number of lines, words (or syllables), tone and rhyme, antithesis, sentence arrangement and so on. For example, China's ancient poems, quatrains, words and songs, and European sonnets. Moreover, metrical new poems have four characters, six characters and eight fonts, and more modern new poems may have metrical styles in the future.
