Strings by Dan Waber

I chose strings because from the start the title was simple and i knew what it was.  When i began the poem and started watching i noticed that it was different from  few i had clicked on before. For example the others had to much going on with illustrations and words that made me uninterested. On the other hand this Strings was a simple black string that moved around with a white backround. It was easy to focus and read what it said. I like that the string had a life of its own. For example it would move around and create words. At the same time it would sort of act out the word it was doing. The strings appeared to me to be a representation of relationships and the arguements, flirting and laghter in it. Even though an interactive poem can be simple it doesnt mean theres no meaning behind it.
