Sound Poetry

Sound Poetry is a form of literary or musical composition in which the phonetic aspects of human speech are foregrounded at the expense of more conventional semantic and syntactic values; "verse without words". By definition, sound poetry is intended primarily for performance.

Watch the clip of a performance of The Four Horsemen and then write your own example of a sound poem.
