National Poetry Month on Vine & Twitter: #vinealine
I have an idea I'd love to see spread for celebrating National Poetry Month 2013.

The videos could be anything from simply you reading the line aloud to minifilms of images you associate with the line. Please consider participating, and spreading the word via Twitter, your blog, Tumblr, etc. 6-second poem films could make for a lot of intriguing viewing.

Insert a new background image, click "send to back", and you've got a new setting. Mind blown at the simplicity of a utility that's been there all along. Here's Peter from The Snowy Day and Whistle for Willie in new landscapes.
