The inspiration of the poet came from his inner world or intensity of his emotions and the past literary traditions. Poetry should express ideas through concrete images. It was the poet’s duty to express abstract ideas through vivid and fresh imagery. She was against the restriction of the traditional doctrines and argued for the depiction of one’s inner world.

B: particular stress pattern: dash“— ” C: Capital letters as a means of emphasis; D: Language: brief, direct, and plain; E: Poem: short, always on original images or symbols F: Conventional meters, iambic tetrameter, off-rhymes.
