Kinetic Poetry

Kinetic poetry is poetry in which movement is part of the poem's design or meaning. The words may shift, rotate, fade, or rearrange on a screen, so the reader experiences the poem as something changing over time rather than as fixed lines on a page. It is often confused with concrete poetry, which focuses more on visual arrangement than actual motion.

Example

The word rain drifts downward
then breaks apart into rivulets
r a i n
falling
falling
falling
