Another, "say what?"

Multimedia poetry this time, a little bit easier to define than Web 2.0. ;)

Multimedia poetry is a somewhat new way to develop your ideas one step further. Instead of simply writing the poetry, multimedia poets add music and images to represent whatever themes or ideas they want. Some poets would claim that when writing poetry, there are certain things that the poet wrote in, but that the reader might not be able to pick up on. Poetry has always been a very personal thing, and readers have always interpreted it how they will. For example:

And then the rose, it died,
and then the people cried,
and then the sun it set,
and then the man, he wept.

Some people could interpret this as someone dying, or as the man being dumped, or whatever they want, but when the poet uses an image of a heart, then everyone would understand that it's obviously the man having had his heart broken.
Multimedia poetry gives poets the chance to explicitly reveal the theme, making poetry easier to read, but unfortunately, in my opinion, taking away the mystery that surrounds this art form.

I think I'll stick with just writing it :D
