1689 in poetry

Ok kiddo, let me try to explain 1689 in poetry in a way that you can understand.

You know how people love writing poems? Well, in 1689, a long long time ago, there were some really famous poets who wrote some amazing poems.

You see, back then, people didn't have televisions or phones or computers to distract them. So, they spent more time doing things like reading and writing. And poetry was a popular form of writing.

In 1689, there were two poets who stood out. One was John Dryden and the other was Alexander Pope. They wrote poems that were very famous and were talked about a lot.

John Dryden wrote a poem called "Alexander's Feast". It was about a musician named Alexander who played music so beautiful that it made people feel like they were in heaven.

Alexander Pope wrote a poem called "An Essay on Criticism". In this poem, he gave advice to people who wanted to be good writers. He told them to write not for fame or money, but to express their feelings and thoughts.

Both of these poems became really popular and were read by many people. They even inspired other poets to write their own poems.

So, that's what happened in 1689 in poetry. People wrote amazing poems that are still remembered and admired today.
