Recently me and my two other colleague took a small visit to the Seneca Library to rent out the Ipad tablet. We tried a few of the poetry apps and here was my take on it.
Verse Poetry
In this app I have the option to create a poem using words already listed for me. One of my friends thought if would be interesting if we all make a poem using words already available. I thought it was good idea and the results were very neat! We all created something that were very similar and yet they were completely not the same. It kind of shows how differently we think and create poems.
Here was my poem:
The sunny place fallen
Hoping your sorrows has change
These eyes decidedly watching the commotion
Grinning
Migration
This next app was quite fascination. My first impression of the little animation was that it resembles a parasite of some sort. At first I was confuse as to what the poetry app was about until I tapped the blob and saw some words coming out of it. These random words I thought were supposedly a poem.
Too much river and too much of me
Visual Poetry
For this app, it uses the poem you've written and make it into a nice typography. It contains many style and you also have the option to change the colour of the text as well as the text style. I think the purpose of this app was to make your poem visually appealing and interesting.
Rattlesnake
As for this app, it displays a plain mossy green background. It seems mundane at first until you start to tap or drag your finger around the screen. As you do that, it will then display words, or if you've swiped your finger around the screen, a short poem.
Know
Know was very similar to Rattlesnake, small snippet of poems/words would pop up if you tap the screen. The only difference was that there would be these white texts cluttered together-shaking-, and if you tap on it, some of the texts would be clearer while bearing the colour purple. It was quite creepy to be honest. The only thing I remembered from the app was that it keep displaying a sentence stating: my skin is turning purple -or something similar to that.
So insightful. Much knowledge. 'Spanks.
ReplyDeleteI, too, like Rattlesnake.
Try MuMu, it's a fun little sound-sequencer.
Hey Viviane!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed doing this assignment with you guys! Admittedly i was a little frustrated with the "old fashioned Shakespearean" attempts you guys started to do at the beginning. But later on when we did the app that let you re-arrange words provided and we each did a poem with the same words, I found that each poet has a different language. It showed how we were different and similar as people as well as writers. I found it very enlightening and interesting! Hopefully we can do something similar to that in our own work.
