1)Conscious Attempt:-
To differ from the poetry of former poets,the school of meta physical poets tried to write poetry in the matter & manner.
2)Display of scholarship:-
All the meta physical poets tried to display their scholarship through their poems & for that they made a conscious attempt to reflect their leaning & scholarship in it.
3)Far fetched images:-
The third remarkable feature is their choice of a distant images & conceits in the writing of poems. They didn't select images from the associated fields but from those fields which have nothing to do with the theme of their poems.engineering, history, biology, geometry & many other fields were attempted.
4)Scholarship & Musicality:-
Dr.Johnson mentioned that the meta physical poetry stood a trial of their figures but not of their ears.no doubt it proved their scholarship in the writing of the poetry but they failed in creating music in their poetry.they didn't care much for rhythm in it.
5)Opinion of critics:-
Critics like Dunkon,Hellen,Johnson & Eliot have commented extensively on the poetry here. Dunkon considered it as the poetry made for a class not mass.Hellen opines that it was the demand of time to writer poetry in a different way.had they continued writing poetry in the same manner as the former poets, their would have been rejected.
