Experimental Poetry 23

4/6/23

This experimental poetry idea is to make the entire poem be animated, and have the animation be related to the poem. Here I demonstrate this idea by making a poem about a heart, in the shape of a (cartoon) heart that "beats" by incorporating movement. One could also add sounds of a heart beating to increase the effect.

I also made it so the beating of the poem heart corresponds to the average rate of a human heartbeat.

The poem reads:

this is a heart
my blood machine

         T     H             S     A    

       E            I     I           H  

      N                S               E 

      I                                 A 

       H                               R  

        C                              T  

         A                           M    

           M                       Y      

              D                 B        

                  O         L            

                       O
