Long ago when I was in school there was what was called "poetic prose". Something barely akin to this is what now passes as poetry. It tweaks my every nerve to listen to the "poetry" of today. To me, it is mostly what I was taught to call, paragraphs. If today's poetry is drifting out of popularity, then it is well deserved. That the learning of classical poetry is no longer a part of school curriculum is shameful.
