Is poetry a dying art?

There was a young fellow called Nigel
Who was stung on the nose by a wasp.
When asked "Did it hurt?"
He said "No, not at all.
It can do it again if it likes."

Mary had a little lamb
She tied it to a pylon
Ten thousand volts shot up his bum
and turned his wool to nylon

I don't know. I hope not though.

Poetry lives on
In countless classrooms today
Haikus will be formed

I wish I were a little egg
As rotten as could be,
A-sitting in a little nest
High up in a tree.
And if you chanced to pass beneath the tree,
I'd up and burst myself and cover thee with me.

For something more serious, read 'My Last Duchess' by Robert Browning.

Do you mean reading poetry or liking poetry or writing one's own poems?
