Kinetic and Interactive Poetry

 

Before reading this chapter, I didn't really know about interactive poetry let alone Kinetic Poetry. It was fun to read about the more aspects of poetry, seeing if they were easier to understand because I found myself usually getting confused with what poetry was trying to say. Although these readings gave me more insight about the deep meaning behind poetry. For example, Because I love you (last night) written by e.e Cummings is easy to gather the meaning. It's dream-like feeling goes perfectly with the fleeting manner of love. Also it shows the person you love coming through intimating, creating a beautiful and sensual poem that she writes. I think I understood this one because it is written in a light tone manner while having some heavy feelings behind it. 

Dear e.e written Lori Janis is another story about understanding. It was confusing at first, I didn't understand what to read and what to look at. It was hard to follow along with because of the images and words combining together. I do think that it something to do home intrusion maybe? That's what I gathered from the first opening and when they went through the entire house. It was difficult to navigate because the words are hidden until you see them. I didn't really like Cruising written by Ingrid Anderson and Meghan Sapner because I couldn't understand how to stop the words from moving. It was moving to fast with the images, and I just couldn't read what was written. I don't know if that was the point of the poem, to have it like you are in a car zooming past things, but the images were too small and slow or big images with fast motion. While I bet these were investing poems, I don't think they were the ones for me. The only one I liked was e.e Cummings. It was easy to understand and flowed very smoothly.
