I've read articles online, some say that poetry is dead, and others say it's not. What do you think?

"I wandered lonely as a cloud,
that floats on high o'er vales and hills
when all at once I heard a shout
get off the effing daffodils!"

Seriously though, some poetry is lovely and I bet we all remember at least a line or two out of poems we learnt at school.

Definitely not as popular as it once was over all. You'd have to be studying or interested in literature.

Here's a racy line:
"Thou still unravished bride of quietness..."

Bet they were fanning themselves profusely at that one! laugh

When every language of the world dies so will every lyric , prose, and poem...A poem is like a phoenix out of its ashes all words shall live again!

I believe in physical attraction and Love

When I see a lovely woman with only small breasts
I say nice but not big enough to see
But when I see a woman with big ones I say
Darling YOU are beautiful and just right for me rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

I have found certain words trigger people to being poetic. Nantucket is such a word.
