Is poetry still having a place in this digital era?

While we were in school or college, we used to read and learn poetry. It is unique way of human expression with carefully chosen words, rhythm and creativity. Poetry has the power to convey to convey emotions, thoughts or even imagination. It allowed reader to connect deeply with certain themes such as love, resilience etc. Today I feel that the traditional poetry is almost dead. There are short verses which with help of digital media and tools are often designed for immediate impact rather than for long term study or enjoyment. The poetry’s strict form or traditional form seem irrelevant to people. Again the themes of traditional poetry may not be relatable to people as they do not focus on the current challenges and rather restricted to classical times. Poetry is often seen as a relic , overshadowed by new techniques of human expression and which are more direct. Poetry has become more of a historical study than an active form of human expression.
