Poetry is always modern. Every new poem is an advancement from the old. Poetry has some defined characteristics which poets have observed strictly through ages which are metrical form, perfection in rhythm and metre and loftiness in ideas. It also has to essentially contain music inborn. We know these are hard for untrained and lazy intellects to observe while writing poetry. Therefore, naturally, to ease things, they declared some kind of independence from these strict and essential ingredients and termed their rogue creations modern. Dreary academics taught students through decades that there is something loosely known as modern, ultra modern and neo-age poetry and inculcated this virtual state of poetical evolution such strong that today we really believe there is such a thing as modern poetry. There are, and have always been, only two forms of poetry- well-written and badly-written; one adheres to form and the other doesn't.
