Is Poetry A Dying Art? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

They say it that poetry is a dying art today,
Why do you write poetry,
What can it give?

Poetry is a dead art,
Why do you write poetry,
What is it in poetry?

Poetry if not dead is dying,
Who writes poetry,
The impractical and idle-seeking persons?

Just the ghosts and goblins of the dead writers
Hold dialogues with
And haunt the practitioners.

The practitioners of this black art,
Doing hocus-pocus
Just do the planchette.

Poetry is a dying art,
You practise it not,
What can poetry give to you?
