Modernism and imagism

Explanation:

1.Modernism can be said to have been born from contrarian attitudes of the previous centuries.

Imagism was a sub-genre of Modernism concerned with creating clear imagery with sharp language. The essential idea was to re-create the physical experience of an object through words.

2.As with all of Modernism, Imagism implicitly rejected Victorian poetry, which tended toward narrative. In this way, Imagist poetry is similar to the Japanese Haiku; they are brief renderings of some sort of poetic scene.

3.Modernist Poem example :

Forsaken lovers,

Burning to a chaste white moon,

Upon strange pyres of loneliness and drought.

Imagist Poem example :

'Oread'

Whirl up, sea -

Whirl your pointed pines,

Splash your great pines

roses are red,

violets are black,

for what you said,

i hope you sit on a big fat tack.

it might be feelings and action sorry if i am wrong
