Rococo poetry mimics the formal and existential structures of the rococo art which was popular in the late 17th and all through the 18th centuries in Europe. Rococo arts existed in architecture, painting and music, among others, and was characterised by excessive decoration and furnishing to create wonder and awe, illusion of movement as well as imbuing the art object with elements of the dramatic and theatrics.
