I think I mentioned before that I wanted to try out videopoetry. The genre as far as I can tell is just what it sounds like, a video of a poem. A poetic video. I dunno. But anyway, I spent probably too much time watching some videopoetry and thinking this looks really cool I want to try. Because as fun as vlogging is, and I'm still gonna do it, I'm just awkward and inconsistently feel like doing it but I still want to use YouTube as a creative and networking resource and so the result, ladies and gentleman, is my videopoem, Soft Pedal:
If there's one thing I learned in high school creative writing, it's that sibling rivalry can most definitely be used as creative fodder. Ok, so I actually learned a ton in high school creative writing, and this poem is one of the things that came out of it.
So what do you all think? I would love your feedback and ideas on this, because I want to keep going with it and do lots more, everything from more straight up poetry vids like this one to vloggy/vignette poetry vids and see what comes of it.
Here's a playlist of some of the videopoems I was watching the other day, some of them are super weird but could maybe inspire some ideas. They all have very different styles, which I kind of want to play around with. I think its worth checking out.

Such a fun idea! This sounds like the beginning of a young adult novel, to me... :)
what a great idea--
i just listened--how absolutely beautiful---such a awesome way to share you lovely poetry!
Where did your video go?
This is really beautiful! You should be proud! :)
WAY fun.
I'm in agreement that it feels like the beginning of a very cool story.
LOVE this! And I have to agree with everyone, it seems like the start of something...
Sarah, that was excellently filmed and most beautifully read and the soundtrack music was perfect.
Play on!

That was lovely. I much prefer this idea - for me - instead of myself on camera... although I don't write poetry...
This is so cool! The poem is beautiful, and the video complements it so perfectly! Awesome job!
Sarah! Thanks for sending the link to me. I really enjoyed it. Lovely interaction between the visuals, the text, and the music.
Yeah!
Thumbs up all the way around. Gorgeous presentation of a poem with heart and fun.
