Artroids/lies
The “artriods” poem was extremely confusing. As far as being a poem this piece meant nothing to me. It was certainly neat, but not anything I would call poetry. I did, however, play the game on my own time and found it to be some what enjoyable. There is a lack of emphasis on the words though. Once you get past like level 3 its hard to read the words because their coming at you pretty quick. So I think it’s a really neat idea to combine the two, but not “Literature” or “Poetry” at all.
The “Lies” Poem was much better. I enjoyed that she takes peoples lies and combines them into little poems or segments. I believe this idea is very origional. The fact that we had an oppertunity to add our own “lies” to the poems was really cool. Then having them change once when you click on them, I thought was also a really fun idea. This, unlike artoids, is something I think is Poetry.
I agree I really liked the lies poem and i really enjoyed the fact that everyone can be a part of it and then the author just puts them together.
