this poem the speaker rebukes the sun telling it to go away because it's interrupting a special moment with his lover Busy old fool unruly Sun Why dost thou thus Through windows and through curtains call on us The speaker argues that the lovers are complete and content with each other they don t need anything else Their bedroom is the whole world to them Similarly A Valediction Forbidding Mourning is a poem about two lovers saying goodbye The poem uses clever words and imagery to show the deep and lasting bond between the lovers The Canonization is a poem where the speaker defends his love against people who criticize it Use of Conceit Conceits are the striking features of metaphysical poetry and Donne s poems are the best example Conceit is a striking example of two far-fetched things the poet uses to make his argument A Valediction Forbidding Mourning is about two lovers saying goodbye In this poem Donne compares the lovers with the legs of a drawing compass with one leg fixed at home and the other exploring the world He says that their love remains strong even though they are physically apart As Donne writes If they be two they are two so As stiff twin compasses are two Thy soul the fixed foot makes no show To move but doth if the other do Witty Argument The Canonization is a poem where the speaker defends his love against people who criticize it He jokes about their opinions and says his love should be considered sacred The poem uses playful language and witty arguments to challenge society's views on love In one of the lines Donne playfully says For God's sake hold your tongue and let me love This line expresses the speaker's defiance against societal judgment and his assertion that love should be celebrated The speaker also argues that his love for his beloved has not harmed anybody It has not drowned any merchant s ship caused a plague or driven away the spring season So the speaker defends his love against people who criticize it The Sun Rising also showcases witty arguments to prove the special love between the lovers The poem argues that the lovers are beyond conventional boundaries in which their bedroom renders the whole world Paradoxes and Irony Metaphysical poets use paradoxes and irony to challenge conventional thinking Donne's Death be not proud is a notable example where he personifies and then belittles death Death be not proud though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful for thou art not so Colloquial Language Unlike the ornate and polished language of earlier poetry metaphysical poets often employed a more conversational and direct style In this poetry poets use the rhythms and cadences of everyday speech Complex Form and Structure Metaphysical poetry experimented with form and structure often using irregular meter varied stanza lengths and intricate rhyme schemes This structure mirrors the complexity of their themes and Donne s poetry is no different Overall Donne's metaphysical love poems are unique and thought-provoking He goes beyond the usual ideas about love and explores its intellectual and spiritual aspects His poems make us think about love more deeply nbsp
