It may not be as popular as it was ages ago, but it still is prevalent. Depends on what you define as poetry as well.

I'm the lead editor of my schools Lit Mag and I would have to say yes. Atleast at my school it is.

We only sold 20 Mag's this year. I almost felt like crying.

I used to write poetry a lot. However, I just haven't been inspired much lately, and just all around gotten lazier.

Poetry seems to be evolving from what I've seen. I write poetry and I collaborate a lot with my friends on pieces. I don't think it's dead, but the interest in it is waning a little.

Poetry lives on in lyrical music, as it is a form of poetry.

Reading a poem once in a while is nice, but nothing substantial as far as I'm concerned. I get bored easily.

not many actual poets around now. But poetry isn't dead, it lives through the lyrics in song.

I do read a good ammount of poetry. And I like to think I can write it.

If the poetry is in the form of a song, then I might pay attention; if not, then I couldn't care less if it dissapeared off the face of the earth.
