A metaphysical poet would not simply declare a feeling of love; he would analyze it and try to understand its higher purpose and meaning.Heavy use of literary devices, like paradox, pun, and irony to convey the subject matter. Metaphysical poetry also uses a lot of colloquial (everyday) language. Donne, for instance, uses the phrase "busy old foole" in his poem, "The Sun Rising."
