Poetry Bracket Challenge

This is our last official post for the course!

Please start by perusing the animated poems at this site:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/poetryeverywhere/uwm/index.html

After viewing at least 8 poems, choose your “final four” best poems and arrange them into a bracket (identify which four poems make the cut, then put them up against each other to see which one wins). If you can visually arrange your poems into a bracket, feel free to do so, though this part is optional.

Explain which poems eventually win out, and why.

For your winning poem, share a link and explain why it won.

Because this is our last post, feel free to add any last comments you would like — in addition to commenting on the blogs of your peers.

Also, feel free to check out two other animated poems:

Forgetfulness by Billy Collins: http://vimeo.com/38356

How to Be Alone by Tanya Davis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7X7sZzSXYs
