IS POETRY TRULY DEAD?


Is poetry truly dead?
Do I scream into the void?
Someone ought be listening
Or am I paranoid?

Is poetry at its end?
Do I shout into abyss?
What kind of person are you
Who is reading this?

Percolate dreams and whims
Inscribed upon this page
Who do I write this poem for?
When am I due my wage?

Echoing canyon walls
Words bounce round my head
Quoth the raven, nevermore
Is poetry truly dead?
