Firstly I want to share my view that....
    
  •  What is the Metaphysical poetry?
Then simply I clarify the answer that, the poets who wrote poetry an ordinary & mechanical languages that all poems considered as a Metaphysical Poetry."
Meanwhile the Renaissance period, all poets wrote poetry on Love, Nature, Death & so on...,but they all wrote in the same manner. 
So coming towards the Puritan Age, poets thinks that we wrote something unique from that all. 


The word " Metaphysical" first time used by critic  Dr. Samuel Johnson in the "lives of poet."

John Donne is the pioneer of this Metaphysical Poetry.

Harry, who is born by magical parents but raised by his Mu...
