[ On Poetry ] Where Has All The Poetry Gone?

       
Come the dawn    
felt the absence    
   
In its place?  
Incoherent rants
not making any sense    
   
Playing with words    
wormed and ugly turned    
in-your-face bloodsported    
   
Dictionaries and thesauruses    
be damned, piled and burned    
consumed in causes purported    
to be noble    
   
swallowed by the all too trusting    
to the downright gullible    
   
Where has all the poetry gone?    
Seems lost in a fifteen minute  
blaze of notoriety and glory    
   
If only it had disappeared    
these days in technical glitches    
this poem would be a different story
