Ponder and reply...

Has the genre of poetry lost its charm? I searched for 3 days to find the poem I used in 'Kavita', a wallpaper but got no feedback... 
I was hoping for a surge of feedback...
Is poetry dead????

Ashu, my "off the cuff poem" 
Today I see a bright light
It shines inside my mind
But the light is not so bright
As to make me blind
I’m not sightless to the meanness
And the cruelty or the pain
That is cast upon the weak
By the pompous and the vain
Awakened are my senses
To the hurt some wish to cause
And to those that feel so haughty
As to point out other’s flaws.
On deaf listeners cries go unheard
By pompous ears cynically plugged
The knife that wields within a word
When someone just needs to be hugged.
Life isn’t perfect indeed
And maybe it’s not in fashion
But I hope that people take heed
And show just a bit more compassion.
Took me 20 minutes to write and nope, I ain't no Emily Dickinson

And time stood still with the thrill of knowing
The depth of such love that set my eyes glowing
Moonbeams formed a path to my true love's heart’s door
And I walk that glad path forevermore.
Sleepless poet.

"She walked on by as though she didn't care..
I could feel the static in the air.
We buzzed about each other like fireflies;
and hastened towards nowhere.
She said, "I can't stand the lies,"
I said, "Don't believe someone else's eyes..."
Look into mine and see the truth,
See what cannot be denied."

Let it be known
that no man is alone
each heart has another
Fit closer than one's brother
Perfection is seen
As true life too serene
but tragedy and strife
is just a part of true life...
Maybe one day is good
And the next may be bad
And how it's dealt with
makes us happy or sad...
For now I will wonder
And love came and went
But if love comes to say
Then it's heaven sent.

I'm afraid to be a doofus and assume you meant that towards me but on the remote chance you did, thank you, JM.

I'm used to being treated shabbily by women...
It didn't bother me as much as thinking that you took me so wrong.

A lot of people have a hard time understanding my warped sense of humor..
Heck, my own parent's have never been able to understand it.
They give me blank looks whenever I try to kid around with them...

Some of your "words in fun" I guess came off (to me) cruel and hurtful...silly now to me of course in looking back... It's too easy to misinterpret "words" in print.
Growing up being "bullied" in life has made me all too weary and I guess I felt wounded by the one whom I thought had championed my cause.
I mean you no ill will and it's saddened me so much that our new friendship ended on such a sour note.

Could we please start again and try to be friends again?
I would like that very much...
An awful lot of ill will has passed between us in the recent past,
and I believe that the past is dead... let it stay there.

"The old moon laughed and sang a song,
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew;
The little stars were the herring-fish
That lived in the beautiful sea.
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish,---
Never afeard are we!"
So cried the stars to the fisherman three,
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod."
