- NEW!

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! 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.

Poetry dead, not at all
It comes in the winter, spring, summer and fall
It provides wisdom for you that are tall
It gives strength for them that are small
Poetry dead, no not at all
Get a pad and pencil
Let’s have a ball

Poetry is not dead
It’s alive to be read
Insight is its Lead
It flows like a bead
And lives in the head

No way!

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!

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.

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

Poetry will die so long as we have free thinkers
by Desiderata on July 30th, 2009
I like to think not! I enjoy writing a few stanzas here and there. I don't think its too shabby some days even!
by SMART ASHES on July 30th, 2009
Yes, it died just before literature did.
by Andrew on July 30th, 2009
Dead? No. But it does have a severe limp.
by Mr. Bobby on July 30th, 2009
No, I think most people's interest in it is dead. It's really a shame too.
by Conor on July 30th, 2009
No, it's far from being dead. +5
by Rin on May 20th, 2009
not dead, no, but it has done a facelift recently. gone are the rhymes and poetry of beutiful scenes and romantic love, welcome are the small letters, subtler themes and abberent rhymes!

by BrianP on August 4th, 2009
I hope so. Nothing is as useless and illogical as poetry. if you have something to say ,say it dont pussy foot around it using fancy words and grammar.
