I know America has a Poet Laureate. Perhaps so too does every country. But what she writes is not "HOW DO I LOVE THEE?".Out of fashion?

In days of old people expressed themselves in poetic verse.

What poems are there to day that rhyme and describe the most tender and deep emotions?

Passe. Outdated. Extinct. There is no audience for that. Progress has seen to it. Sentiment is inadmirable. SIGH. WHY?
