Critiques of Past Poems

“Picture” isn’t quite the best piece of multimedia poetry you could do.
This is because:
1. The font is hard to read
2. The color is hard to read on the background
3. The background music is very distracting from the actually poem, because it has lyrics and I listen to them instead of reading the poem.

“Carousel” is a good example of multimedia poetry. For the exact opposite of the reasons above.
It’s nicely timed, with pictures appearing at the same time as the music changes. The music isn’t distracting. The pictures are relevant to the theme and make sense.
