interactive and kinetic poetry

 Before I read this chapter I had little knowledge about interactive poetry and even lesser knowledge on kinetic poetry. Kinetic poetry is when the text moves on the screen while blending with other aspects of the poem. I think this way of poetry is more helpful for people who might not understand what traditional poetry is trying to say. Personally, nine times out of ten I get confused on what the author is trying to say in poems. After looking at some of the different kinetic poems, some were easier to understand and grasp. Although, when I read Because I Love You) Last Night, I was having trouble trying to figure out what he means. I don't know if it was because I was tired when I read it or if it was the word choice and grammar, but at times I didn't know what it was trying to say. I knew it was about love and the relationship that's talked about but I thought there might've been more. After reading it a few times I saw that the author was talking about a women's body. Which made me realize the poems format is in the shape of a women's breast. I might be reading too far into this but it was an observation that I thought might have some relevance. 

Another reference I did was Dear E.E. which was an interesting piece. At first when pictures started to show up in the montage of what looks like a living room, it just kept going and going. I thought it was going to stop so I let it sit there for a few minutes and nothing was happening. I figured out how to read the words when they went by super fast by accident. I clicked on the screen and I was able to slow it down which was a lot easier than trying to read it when it was going super fast. I like this piece cause the illustrations and the words were easier to read and see. I think that the idea is really creative and a fun way to read poetry without feeling like you are.
