The present situation of poetry writing and what should we do

Modern poetry corresponds to metrical poetry. It is not limited by metrical rules, and the number of stanzas, lines, words and phonology of poetry is relatively free, but it requires a distinct rhythm. But its rhythm is not reflected in a fixed syllable unit, but in the natural rhythm of spoken language with the ups and downs of feelings, which generally does not rhyme or rhymes roughly. Whitman, an American poet, is the founder of modern poetry and has a great influence on the development of modern poetry in China. Around the May 4th Movement of last century, with the development of the New Literature Movement, China's modern poetry was widely spread, occupying the leading position of new poetry. Poets such as Guo Moruo, Ai Qing, Dai Wangshu and Cang Kejia are outstanding representatives of modern poetry.

Prose poetry is more free than modern poetry. It is written in the form of prose, without lines and rhythms, and does not require obvious rhythms. However, it is generally required to be short, full of emotion, poetic and artistic conception, poetic and fantasy, with a certain leap, poetic language refinement and musical beauty, and can not be described in detail from beginning to end, otherwise it will become prose.

Modern poetry requires a distinct rhythm, that is, a distinct natural rhythm with the ups and downs of feelings, and rhymes freely. Prose poetry is not like this, and it doesn't need a distinct rhythm. It is completely prose-style descriptive narrative language, some with symbols and some with metaphors. The language is concise, poetic and profound.
