  •  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.
