John Donne's poetry represented a shift from classical forms to more personal poetry. Donne is noted for his poetic metre , which was structured with changing and jagged rhythms that closely resemble casual speech (it was for this that the more classical-minded Ben Jonson commented that "Donne, for not keeping of accent, deserved hanging").
