The principal difference between real poetry and "modern" poetry is that you can recognize real poetry when you hear it. Modern so-called poetry is never recited, but always read, because its formless jumbles of words arbitrarily arrayed on a page are impossible to remember.

Modern poetry often breaks traditional forms and rules, focusing more on free verse and experimentation, while classic poetry adheres more closely to formal structures like rhyme and meter. Modern poetry tends to explore contemporary themes and language, while classic poetry often features timeless themes and a more formal tone. Both styles of poetry aim to evoke emotions and provoke thought, but through different approaches.
