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????

Thanks Jam. Sorry AngEla_27, it was not meant to make you sad. Mostly, it is a lyric that makes one think. Please don't be sad.

Perhaps something lighter and romantic to ease the mood:
From the play Le Jeu de l'Amour et du Hasard by Marivaux
SYLVIA: We must be serious now. My stars say I shall marry a man of distinction, and I'll look for nothing less.
DORANTE: If that were me I'd feel threatened, and go in fear of proving your horoscope. I'm an atheist over astrology.....but a profound believer in your face.
SYLVIA: (to herself) What a pest he is! (to Dorante) Will you stop this? What's it matter to you that my destiny rules you out?
DORANTE: It didn't predict that I wouldn't fall in love with you.
SYLVIA: No, but it said it wouldn't do you one bit of good, and I can tell you it's right. You are capable of talking about something else besides love, I presume?
DORANTE: From the moment you're capable of not inspiring it.
SYLVIA: Really, this is outrageous, I'm going to lose my temper. Once and for all, will you stop being in love with me!
DORANTE: If you will stop being.

Now we have prose included in the thread too!!!
Great!! this is turning out to be quite a literary huddle, hehe.
Did tou notice, that the 'My Verse' is see-sawing between Darkness and Light, seems to be the case with Life too. Its the eternal struggle showing up.
As for Angela's comment:
'I wonder if there are enough poets in here to end it? Maybe by the end of Jan 03 '
Angela (such a beautiful name!!!) I'd like to say that each man IS a poet, he/she (can't be careful enough, the politically correct police on the prowl) just has to bare the inner self to the world, realise its ambition. What do you think???

Motion...((((HUG)))) You and your post didn't make me sad...
Ashu, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment...I also think every man/woman can be an artist too...just a lil' practice is all...
To me, creativity is the ability to let oneself go and go and oops...dang...almost fell off the cliff. he-he

Here is one from a friend of mine...she will probably slap me upside the head for this but...
Master Of The Night
"On wings of blue the sun slinks
down the western sky.
Its rays spread around the day
to draw it in to die.
Silence surrounds the world
that mourns the day's eve,
As a proud moon appers concerned
with its birth you recieve.
The dark, bleak coldness broke
only by rays of silver light
Tell all it is the master
of the dark, sullen night."

My verse:
'Shining Moon, wash over me
Show me the things that only you see
Wish me new paths to take on my quest
Shine on me softly as I lay me to rest...'
'Shining Moon, wash over me
Show me the things that only you see
