Gendering of Language / Poetry to Wartime

I really appreciated how Professor Miyake went into the gendering of the language as well as how folks like Murasaki Shikibu made strides to subvert cultural norms and wield language as a weapon against the patriarchy. In the first part of the seminar, something that really resonated with me was how poetry can be used as a way of telling the story of men and women from this time. Poems of love and war captured the psyche of people living there at the time in a way that historical accounts couldn't. A question I definitely had was if we have any poems about love during the time where warriors began to take a larger role. I think of it almost like the transition from Blues to Jazz to even Hip Hop. As new genres flourished, people still created music in older genres. Were there love poems during the time of increasing war and what might they have sounded like?
