The Dark Period for Poets was a time in the late 16th century when poetry was not as popular as it had been previously. This period is often referred to as the 'Een' (3 letters) due to the lack of poetic output during this time. During this period, poets focused more on writing plays and other forms of literature instead of poetry. This shift in focus led to a decrease in the quality of poetry being produced, leading to the term 'Dark Period for Poets'.
