Why God Continues to Make Poets

[TranquillityBase]

People will always consciously sculpt language into something that communicates feelings and emotions and ideas in the best way, even as poetry becomes a less and less 'relevant' medium.

I confess I was disturbed by this thought (the italicized bit in particular), although sadly, I think poetry is fading in relevance in this particular age we find ourselves living through.

I would disagree about "people will always consciously sculpt language into something that communicates feelings....in the best way".   I find it rare to meet someone who speaks in that way, who make any effort to "sculpt" their language.  Maybe I'm just not around enough people, being somewhat isolated.  But I can think of only one or two folks who speak with any kind of eloquence among those I meet in my day to day interactions.  Maybe it's always been that way.

I think it our duty to keep poetry alive in some way, even if it's only a few of us.
