Thanks to all replies, some very good points. I suppose i never considered the impact of technology on poetry and the way that people access sites these days. I don't have a smart phone so am not part of that world.
I don't ever think that poetry is dying but it seemed that the appetite is slowly dwindling, i was on the blog world for a while and some people are posting more than a poem a day so there is definitely poetry being written it's just not finding it's way to sites like this. There was a while where the world was obsessed with writing what they called 'haiku' but even that phase seems to have died down.
These things come in phases... i hope.
