Poems: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

 
As the world turns on, things like culture, language, people, and other factors are constantly changing. This is also no exception when it comes to poetry. Many years ago, when people spoke in "old english", works that were in forms of 'sonnets' were frequently written. Nowadays, contemporary poets will use the same type of writing style or sequence, but the language is very different. You also see the context of poems changing with time. During specific periods of what a country is going through, you will hear and read poems reflecting its time. It is very interested to compare all these different types of poems as they paint a bigger poem refelecting an ever-changing world.
