I imagine finding a needle in a haystack with a blindfold on would be just as difficult.
Metaphysical poetry in the seventeenth century broke away from conventions of lyrical poetry. The difference is apparent in the choice of cacophonous imagery...
Johnson put five poets in this category: John Donne, Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and Henry Vaughan. However, they never worked as an organized literary movement. They didn't even read each other. It is only today that we can consider them akin.
As for cacophonous imagery, it was one of their foremost characteristics. The word choices and similes would often be shocking and unusual, not just for their own time but even later. For example, comparing two lovers' souls with two compasses in Donne's A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.

Hello cousin,
Something terrible happened to my family and I. My family and I were on a boat, having a good time together when a huge storm hit. Everybody was freaking out, I was so overwhelmed and shocked. I didn't know what would happen to us. There was a bunch of water in the boat, and everyone was soaked. After the storm calmed down we all made it back to the coast unhurt. I am so thankful that nobody was hurt, I hope you're doing well too. We had towels in the car so we all could get some water off. Afterwards, when we were coming back to the house, everybody was so shocked nobody talked. When we got home, nothing really happened. Thankfully everybody is okay, they are just a little scared. I don't think we are ever going to get on a boat again. Don't worry about us, please email me back as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Your cousin
(I hope this helps)
