Poets.org has partnered with TextTelevision to offer TextFlows, an alternative approach to reading and experiencing poetry. By converting text dynamically into Flash animation, poems are revealed phrase by phrase through motion and light, and at a pace controlled by the reader. The simplified words and crisp motion fixes one's attention on the subtleties of language, increasing involvement, engagement, and understanding.
Robert Frost's Mending Wall is here.
A goodly selection of other poems can be found here.
Something there is about just the text
black on white
scrolling slowly enough to read
the poets voice comes forth silently
you hope for no interruptions
until it finishes
