If people get more interested in these languages and start composing short poems of quality and share them in the internet, maybe Quenya could be considered a living language.

That's a beautiful thought. Unfortunately the success and spreading of a language has little to do with how many people speak it. It's more about who the people are who speak it. The people who succeed internationally promote their language and thus give it better chances to spread. If we take a look at politics and countries military power, for example, it's clear why English and French are such widely-spread languages. As beautiful language as Quenya is, it lacks an appropriate base to become more used. If it had a wide economical vocabulary, for instance, I bet it could be much more popular.
