Has poetry got a future?
If there is no music to go with it - can poetry ever be anything other than stuff you have to do at school or that old people read and is on Radio 4 in the afternoons? How beyond slams and all that jazz make poetry relevant and popular or has its time passed?

Poetry never dies. It can change its format, but will ever be around.

Poetry definitely has a future. Poetry expresses the way a poet feels about someone or something.
Teacher ActressPoetry has a future as long as the human heart does.

Te oldest spiritual text in the world the Holy Vedas is poetry which is the most condensed form of philosophy.
Many masterpieces like the Ramayana, Bhagwat Gita, Mahabharata ,Guru Granth Sahib etc are poetry and they will last till this earth spins.
I believe the level of poetry has deteriorated a lot over the past few years or decades and has given it a poor name and poets today face a very difficult time.
Then I also believe poetry is picking up again and people are once again appreciating spirituality and philosophy through poetry.

As long as man and woman have emotions and words to express themselvs,then we will always have poetry.
Just checking guys - one of those questions that we all need to ask ourselves now and again to make sure we keep doing what we do......bless you all for being human. PeeGee

I've certainly construed similarly with the US congress and politics. Oh, and religion, too. But they are still with us, God help us all.
However, poetry....
There have been times when I haven't had a lick of an idea for what to write, sitting in my victimhood, or just feeling lifeless, and then I'll read somebody's poem (many here on HP) and suddenly, blood starts pumping and life starts all over again.
Song lyrics are a form of poetry, but they are different. I know because I write both. Poetry, on the other hand is as plentiful and universal and as poignant as scripture, Shakespear and CrisA (and manlypoetryman, and, and, and...)
None of this is going away. At least I don't think it will.- 94

poetry, proper poetry, is an essential part of the human condition. The popularity of writing verse in books is most certainly waning, but our desire to distil and express our emotions is as strong as it ever was.
