Description(s):
"Anipoemas" are animated poems in which letters explain the content of the title of the poem. The author plays with semantics, using signifiers to express a meaning. In "Scene from a Train" letter "t" imitates the electricity posts that we would see from the window of a train. In "Red Dry Leaves" the letters seem to fall like leaves. In "Gymnastics" the letters do "exercises" provoking a smile on the reader's/spectator's face. In "Springtime" letters "q" and "p" grow up like flowers. All these animated poems invite readers to have fun and be surprised finding a poetic language trough simple animated letters.
