PLN 12

I read or I should say watched Karl Fisch’s “Brave New Voices” as it is more of a video than a writing blog and is about a new form of poetry.  The video is about a competition with poetry, but it is a completely new type of poetry. Instead of just talking slowly and calmly they are talking faster, louder, some are screaming, but some still go for a more stagnant impression. This new form makes a much more exciting poem then poetry use to be. But is it still poetry? I think it is because it still hard to understand and full of morals that everyone knows about or contains a personal story. I doubt this will affect education much, they will have to teach about this new form of poetry in English but I doubt teachers will spend much time teaching it because you don't learn anything from it so the only people interested in learning it will be those who want to perform it. This will affect the world because it can now take a new look on poetry that could become popular.  This will not affect me because I do not like either form of poetry regardless of what others may think. To me its the same, words thrown together to sound good but when ever I finaly get the point of the poem i wish they would of just of said it.

  1. Jon- this is good, but I want you to push yourself to great. Spend more time explaining what you are saying with clear examples. Why do you think teachers won't teach this new form? Why don't you care for this new form of poetry?
