Popcorn Poetry | class blog? - 0 views

    "After reading our classes popcorn poem I realized that a good portion of the class is amazed by how we were able to construct poetry to social media. I myself am one of those people. We've always considered poetry to be something containing a higher meaning with vocabulary words we wouldn't use on a daily basis, but as of last friday we created poetry where the stanzas were replaced with tweets by different account users, and the theme of the poem was spread through the us of a twitter timeline, and retweets. With using my new definition of a genre of poetry I see these popcorn poems as multiple authors, viewing the potential of poetry in the social media realm, were so used to seeing poem being on paper containing X amount of stanzas, but now we see people's different first impression on what poetry via internet is like. For the most part each student was surprised, and had a good feeling about what this could be going forward with the more assignments we get that involve us doing popcorn poems. "

A Videogame That Teaches You to Write Poetry, Even if It Intimidates You | WIRED - 2 views

  • Elegy lets players write prose and poetry as they explore distant planets and dead civilizations. The player faces 27 challenges in three worlds, each riffing on a specific British Romance-era poem: “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley, “When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be” by John Keats, and “Darkness” by Lord Byron. The different challenges find the player in various roles: an emperor rallying his troops before a doomed battle, for example, or a schoolgirl evacuating a city being bombed. Players travel through beautifully designed backgrounds, while on-screen text narrates the story. But much of the text is left blank—that’s when players tap their inner Wordsworths, finishing the tale with their own imaginations.
