Poetry is deceased? Neigh, I say! On life, poets have taken a new lease. Poetry is here to stay. (I know, it's corny) Seems kind of short... Add on if you want.
-
No, I think most people's interest in it is dead. It's really a shame too.
-
Dead? No. But it does have a severe limp.
-
Yes, it died just before literature did.
-
you mean like the dead poets society?
-
No! No more than music or theater or literature or any other art. I don't equate "death" of poetry with "evolution" of poetry. It's a living, changing thing. It goes through changes like any art. The cool thing is that I can still read poetry from way-back as well as more modern stuff and enjoy both -- depending on the mood of the moment.

I like to think not! I enjoy writing a few stanzas here and there. I don't think its too shabby some days even!

You ask is poetry dead what of songwritters laying down lead flashy lyric, catchy tune some pen a lovers trip to the moon songs of love laced in sorrow will once again be played tomorrow if poetry seems only once upon a time just turn on the radio its in rhythm and rhyme

Is poetry dead when not enough is ever said ... when death is all around and war is corruptly bound ... a child is aborted from life as a man drinks to beat his wife ... when forest is cut from ground clean water it cannot to be found ... losing the ice and its winter chill, we hunt only for the pleasure to kill ... Yes we are blind and lost my friend yet these ailments we can patiently mend ... If takes use of my last dying breath to prove words are stronger than death ... I will say to you as I have always said, Poetry … will be the last, to be dead. ;) Peace.

I write poetry all the time. I don't think Poetry is dead, but I think that people are more likely to pick up a book of fiction then a book of poetry. In that way it may be dying, but not the poets!
-
No way!

Yes,it died 5 or 6 years ago. There's millions who write Emo and think its great. Others write excellent poetry but have no fans who read it.

many poets write song lyrics

I've never been a huge poetry fan, though certain poems really "hit me". Personally I can't enjoy - and therefore can't respect - "modern" poetry, where the poets are so lazy that they can't be bothered to rhyme or even use proper English "standards of writing" such as with regard to punctuation and capitalization. *** So: poetry is not dead, but (imo) poetry that is truly elegant and...heart-reaching has become much more rare than it was in the heyday of classical English poetry. *** What do I like? Wordsworth is my favorite poet, no contest. I also really enjoy several individual poems (as opposed to poets), such as Xanadu and Gunga Din.

No. Poems are still written by poets.
