2. Stylistically:
① Contemporary poems created by contemporary poets are generally not constrained by format and rhythm.
② Modern poetry is free in form and open in connotation, and image management is more important than rhetoric.
Extended data:
Modern and contemporary poetry has different styles;
1. For modern poets, whether in the west or China, modern poetry generally adopts free genre, and the meter and form of poetry are no longer important.
2. The development of contemporary poetry has experienced many setbacks and misunderstandings, but on the whole, it has made proud and remarkable achievements. The field of poetry creation has formed a moving landscape of "competing on the same stage" for four or five generations.
