So, in modernist poetry, the meaning of a poem is the âdifferingâ interpretation of different readers. There can be no single and fixed meaning of any poem. Also, modernist poets have violated all the known conventions and established rules of the past.nother important element of modernist poetry is the use of new and wide range of subjects, themes and issues. Traditional poetry had to be limited to subjects of universal significance, general human appeal, and so on, even when the poems were romantically personal on their surface.
