There has been a very real decline of interest in poetry, OP, all through the 20th century and possibly earlier. There are lots of possible explanations. The fact that it became something made by/for "rich people", or just for fancy, artsy people might be a big reason. If you go back far enough, it was far more accessible and widespread. Back in the day, you'd have people who'd memorize (or even make up) poems without even being literate. The fact that it's a poem made memorization easier. Though you could also argue that it's not really in decline, and most modern poetry is just set to music. We just lost interest in poems on their own.
