Poetry is a Dying Art
I have been on the Internet
now for almost over two decades
also I'm a published author
by name
All web site guys
make money and go...
except you and me
innocent Neos
Do you like me,
now see
poetry is a lagging art
archaic old fellows style
we are young
at least at heart
inside out
why not compose
mostly
free style
as Lovedly
does
your guess /verse
please your own views
at worse

You ain't gonna like this
I think poetry is dying not because people are leaving poetry but because poetry is leaving the people. Now for the part that's gonna cause stones to be hurled at me..... I blame the prevalence of free verse. Now free verse can be beautiful and convey meaning well but the bad part is it is not as easily recalled as metered rhyming poetry. Now if one goes out in the "real" world where it's not just poets reading other poets and ask a non poet to recite a poem . What do you get? By a vast majority you will hear a rhyming meter poem, the same kind which too few are writing any more. So if poetry IS dying we have nobody to blame but ourselves for not giving the general public what they want. Now I'm gonna duck behind this here wall and start dodging.........

Hi Loved
If you publish and like the "evocation " part of the title, I'd suggest using your real name instead of pen name.

Thanks for the education Mark
I read your reference
Yes it is still an art
not many/any earn bread by it
It's a poor/idle man's free
pastime/hobby
be at it
I compose mostly
Free Style
Time is at a premium for me
Each one for him/herself
may we all be
Independently Free
