对于晚唐诗风，前人的评述大多从宏观着眼，但也可以对晚唐诗歌进行微观性质的考察，考察角度包括诗人的心态、作品的题材走向与艺术特征三方面。晚唐诗人中并非没有胸怀天下的有识之士，但对于他们而言，治国平天下的功名事业已是渐行渐远的梦想。除了写诗之外别无他业，也必然导致晚唐诗人对诗歌价值的无比推崇。在并无情感驱动的情况下为写诗而写诗，易于陷入为文造情的窘境。相应地，晚唐诗中，咏物与咏史这两类题材特别繁盛。除了咏物与咏史等题材，晚唐诗人也力图开拓新的题材范围来创新，但因为缺乏关注社会生活的胸怀和眼光，求新往往流于险怪、荒诞。晚唐诗人在细节性的艺术技巧上刻意求工，带来晚唐诗体长于律体而拙于古风、重视琢句而不重篇章结构、意尽句中而韵味不足等问题。
