Poets of the 1900's were also influenced greatly by the American poets Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson and the English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins.

 Cavalier Poets: An Introduction.
“Though the Cavalier Poets only occasionally imitated the strenuous intellectual conceits of Donne, and his followers, and were fervent admirers of Jonson's elegance, they took care to learn from both parties.
In fact the common factor that binds the cavaliers together is their use of direct and colloquial language expressive of a highly individual personality, and their enjoyment of the casual, the amateur, the affectionate poem written by the way.
They are 'cavalier' in the sense, not only of being Royalists (though Waller changed sides twice), but in the sense that they distrust the over-earnest, the too intense.

 Renaissance Period
The lyrical poet in the reign of Elizabeth I was not concerned with actuality.
She, turning a deaf ear to all his protestations, could be relied upon to accept some suitable gift from time to time, or to rouse him to ecstasies of happiness by a word of encouragement, or plunge him into despair with a frown.
Ultimately, the Cavalier Poets accept the ideal of the Renaissance gentlemen, who is at once a lover, soldier, musician and poet, but abandon the notion of his also being a pattern of Christian chivalry.

 EDSITEment - Lesson Plan
The metaphysical poet may make use of a conceit (an extended metaphor) which juxtaposes apparently unconnected ideas or images so as to startle the reader with their paradoxical nature and force a more deliberate engagement with the poem.
John Donne, along with similar but distinct poets such as George Herbert, Andrew Marvell, and Henry Vaughn, developed a poetic style in which philosophical and spiritual subjects were approached with reason and often concluded in paradox.
Likewise, the Luminarium website, via EDSITEment-reviewed Labyrinth, has a wonderful introduction to the metaphysical poets with links to further reading and other 17th century poets, such as the Cavalier poets, who were contemporaries of the metaphysical poets.

 Metaphysical poets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The metaphysical poets were a loose group of British lyric poets of the 17th century, who shared an interest in metaphysical concerns and a common way of investigating them.
Their style was characterised by wit, subtle argumentations and the "metaphysical conceits", an unusual simile or metaphor such as in Andrew Marvell’s comparison of the soul with a drop of dew.
One of the primary Platonic concepts found in metaphysical poetry was the idea that the perfection of beauty in the beloved acted as a remembrance of perfect beauty in the eternal realm.
