Pastoral poems usually make use of an idyllic setting, one that is completely, or almost entirely, removed from society. Usually, there is a single narrator who is engaging with the natural landscape in a meaningful way. Farm settings are widely popular within the genre, as is the promotion of a simpler, more natural life.

Some of the most common features of this kind of poetry are central characters who are integral to the setting, such as farmers or shepherds. Often, the landscape is used as part of a religious allegory, suggesting peace/God can be found with in nature.
