Videopoetry is a genre of poetry displayed on a screen, distinguished by its time-based, poetic juxtaposition of images with text and sound. In the measured blending of these three elements, it produces in the viewer the realization of a poetic experience.
Presented as a multimedia object of a fixed duration, the principal function of a videopoem is to demonstrate the process of thought and the simultaneity of experience, expressed in words – visible and/or audible – whose meaning is blended with, but not illustrated by, the images and the soundtrack.
Text, displayed on-screen or voiced, is an essential element of videopoetry. A work which does not contain visible or audible text could be described as poetic, as an art film or video art, but not as a videopoem.
Imagery in a videopoem – including on-screen text – does not illustrate the voiced text.
This occurs when someone on your buddy list, who used to be a friend, was never deleted from the list. You mean to click the video chat icon next to your friend's name, but accidentally click the used-to-be friend's name. You immediately cancel the invitation and block the person, to prevent the incident from re-occurring.
Alexa: Shit! I just accidentally invited Kyle to a video chat and then canceled it immediately. Now I have to block him so that never happens again!
Jacob: Haha I just got the accidental videochat block from John. I havent talked to him in months and he invited me to a video chat, canceled a second later, and then blocked me.
