Six Simple Suggestions for Poetic Presentations

Poetic presentations.

Presentations are pervasive, perhaps unavoidable, in modern business culture. We depend upon them to document details and dictate discussion. We use them to inform and to teach.

But shouldn’t presentations also inspire? Can they be evocative as well as informational?

I believe they can, and I think a lot about the qualities that make presentations feel poetic rather than pedestrian.

Poetic Building Blocks

I’ll spare you the cliche of starting with the dictionary definition (see #2 below), but most descriptions touch on these essential components of poetry: the expression of feelings and ideas, distinctive style, rhythm, beauty, intensity of emotion, and brevity.

1. Expression

To me, the most important element of a poetic presentation is a single, powerful idea to build around, to expand upon, to infuse every aspect of your creation. Think of this as your creative hook or your angle. Without a strong underlying inspiration or theme, presentations can end up feeling rambling, jumbled, or disjointed — just a sequence of slides.

The Dragonfly Effect , an inspiring book and blog about how social media can drive social change, is a great example of how powerful a cohesive creative hook can be. I incorporated beautiful dragonfly imagery into this presentation I made to share the team’s unique approach.

Poetry in Practice : When you’re crafting a presentation, give yourself some time up front to identify a theme you can carry through. This could be a metaphorical idea, a powerful phrase, or some other unifying creative thread. I often get my ideas from exploring in the Haiku Deck image search .

2. Distinctive Style

There are a wide variety of unique poetic forms, each with its own mood, character, and general format. The same is true for presentations. Whether you are sharing a lighthearted list or making an impassioned case for a cause you care about, select a style that fits and carry it through cohesively. Each presentation you create should feel distinct, in a way that suits its unique purpose.

The other important point here is to be distinctive — which means taking special care to avoid cliche in subject matter, wording, and image choice.

I love how Mel Carson uses black & white portraits in this presentation promoting his book, Pioneers of Digital . The overall effect feels unified and perfectly tailored to its subject.

Poetry in Practice : Instead of templatizing your presentations, select fonts and images to reinforce your mood and theme. As you develop each presentation, keep formatting and even image palettes as cohesive as possible to sustain the mood.

Poetry is strongly associated with rhythm, with cadence, with well-chosen words. You can play with alliteration (the repetition of consonants), assonance (the repetition of vowel sounds), or even rhyme as you title your talk and script your slides.

Zooming out, try to give your presentation as a whole a sense of rhythm, structure, and flow. You can do this by repeating visual or text elements at regular intervals — for example, solid-color slides to introduce new sections, or a short, simple string of text repeated throughout for poetic emphasis.

“Sculpting an Elephant,” by Barry Casey, is a wonderful example of poetic language and rhythmic flow in practice:

Poetry in Practice : Allow yourself time, and a few edit passes, to explore possibilities for word choice — you might even use an online dictionary, thesaurus, or rhyming dictionary for ideas. If you land on a poetic, powerful phrase, try repeating it at intervals throughout your presentation to underscore its rhythmic resonance.

Beauty alone can’t carry an unsubstantial idea, but a beautifully presented idea can blossom into something bigger, more powerful. In a presentation, beauty may take the form of evocative, well-chosen images that deepen your meaning, or it could be an elegant metaphorical idea that intrigues and illuminates.

Take a look at how Brandon George uses clever images with a playful spin in this information-sharing presentation, “How to Get Ideas.” It’s a very creative take on beauty!

Poetry in Practice : Use high-quality imagery, and don’t rush the selection of your images — they should be more than just decoration. Be sure each image you choose deepens and extends your meaning or tells a story.

In the age of big data, it’s common to value information over emotion, and to structure presentations accordingly. Yet in the words of Jonathan Gottschall, author of The Storytelling Animal , “Humans simply aren’t moved to action by ‘data dumps,’ dense PowerPoint slides, or spreadsheets packed with figures. People are moved by emotion.”

“Humans simply aren’t moved to action by ‘data dumps,’ dense PowerPoint slides, or spreadsheets packed with figures. People are moved by emotion.” — Jonathan Gottschall

When we celebrated our company’s one-year anniversary last summer, I wanted to acknowledge the milestone with a mix of compelling stats and stories. Here’s how I wove the two together:

For another example, check out how a creative teacher infuses a basic scientific formula with storytelling in this educational presentation:

Poetry in Practice: No matter how data-heavy your presentation is, your message will be more memorable if you can turn your stats in stories. Emotion and information can work together to elevate your key points.

Certainly there are grand, epic forms of poetry, but most poetic forms favor brevity. Keeping your presentation concise and focused will nearly always make it feel more poetic.

This personality-packed presentation, created to cap off what was surely an epic Startup Weekend event, is an excellent example of how little text you actually need to get the point across.

Poetry in Practice: Instead of trying to pack in more — more words, more ideas, more thoughts, more data points — see what you can remove. Give your ideas some breathing room, so they can bloom.

Here’s one last example I’d like to share, in which I tried to incorporate all of these poetic building blocks to some extent. I created it for presentation expert Nolan Haims, based on a blog post he wrote that inspired me . (Sending this to him felt a bit like cooking dinner for a famous chef, and I offered to make any changes he requested, but he liked it !)

There’s no foolproof formula to creating poetic presentations — like poetry itself, there are plenty of forms to explore and ways to experiment. But I hope these poetic building blocks can plant some seeds for future presentation inspiration.

Poetry Analysis By Debi Rice

What We’re Looking For: • When we analyze a poem, there are three main categories to examine: • Content • Style • Theme & Evaluation

Content • When we examine the content of a poem, we’re looking for things like: • The reader’s first impressions • What the poem looks like on the surface • An examination of the poetic voice • The poem’s content • An examination of the poem’s title • Identification of conflicts within the poem • A discussion about tone & mood

Style • Looking at a poem’s style requires the reader to dig deeper than the surface and examine such elements as: • The type of poem we’re examining • The poem’s diction (word choice) • Identification & examination of figures of speech • Identification of images & symbolism • The parts of the poem appealing to the reader’s senses • The structure of the poem (if any)

Theme & Evaluation • In the final part of the analysis, the reader offers his/her ideas about the possible themes that are present in the poem. • Also, the reader communicates his/her final thoughts about the poem in general & the poems relationship to life.

Analyzing Content Digging Deeper

First Impressions • After reading the poem for the first time, it helps to record your first impressions. • Interesting words • Possible Subject • Your impressions will change as you re-read • You might begin by writing something like: • Upon first reading, a reader may get the impression Robert Frost is writing about walking in the woods on a nice day. He speaks of two roads…

On the Surface • This accompanies the first impressions part of the analysis. • This is where the reader tells the audience what the poem appears to be about literally before he/she looks at figures of speech & imagery.

Poet & Poetic Voice • Before offering any analysis, it is a good idea to find out about the poet who wrote the poem. • This requires a little research. • It is important to remember some poets don’t write as themselves. They adopt a persona (voice) to be the speaker. • Who is the AUDIENCE of the poem? • To whom is the speaker speaking?

Context • This is where learning about the poet comes in handy. • What circumstances existed to make this poet create this poem? • Details about the poet’s life • What’s happening in the world • Does the poet address a social, psychological, historical of mythical phenomenon?

Title • You must assume the poet chose the title deliberately. • How doe it fit? • Is it a good title to represent the poem? • How does it relate to the ideas in the poem? • Do you think it is an appropriate title? • Why do you think he/she decided on the title?

Conflicts • This may or may not be present in the poem, but it is often central to many poems. • Must be identified if present • Often poems with emotions themes are built around a conflict. • It is important to identify the conflict because it is conflict in the poet's life that probably inspired him/her to write the poem. • How do these conflicts help propel the poem?

Tone • Tone is the poet’s attitude towards his/her subject. • Tone is projected through poetic voice • It is created through diction (word choice), rhythm, rhyme & use of imagery. • It may be mournful, bitter, angry, reflective, melancholy, joyful, ironic, etc (an adjective) • By picking up tone of a poem, you will better be able to understand its intended meaning • When discussing tone, it is important for you to find examples of lines/diction in the poem which support your choice.

Mood: All About You • Mood is how the reader feels after reading the poem. It describes the atmosphere the poet creates. • How do you think the poet wanted you to feel? • Choice of words & imagery are what create mood. • Again mood is expressed as an adjective. • Again, find examples of lines/diction in the poem which explain how this mood is created.

Analyzing Style Digging Deeper

Type of Poem • Includes Form • Popular poetry forms include: • Lyric (short & musical; usually rhyme) • Sonnet (14 lines with definite rhyme) • Ballad (lyric poem which tells a story) • Ode (poem to praise something) • Epic (long, heroic poem) • Free Verse (no particular structure) • Elegy (like a eulogy only in poetic form)

Diction • This is the poet’s word choice • Upon reading a poem, be sure to discover the meanings of unfamiliar words & phrases, allusions, etc. • Is the poem free of cliches? • Are the words concrete or abstract? • How does the diction contribute or detract from the poem? * You must comment on diction & offer examples to support your claim in analysis.

Figures of Speech • The key to understanding & discussing poetry is in deciphering its figurative language. • Does the poet use figurative language? • Each must be identified then explained. • Tie them to the poem by telling what they mean both literally & figuratively

Imagery & Symbolism • Are there concrete images the poet wants the reader to see, hear, smell, touch, taste? • What images does the poem evoke? • How are they evoked? • How do the different images connect or contrast with one another? • Are there other aural (sound) and visual details?

Structure • Structure usually applies to poems that must follow a certain structure like sonnets, limericks, haiku, etc. • The way the lines are organized & grouped. • Rhyme, rhythm, & stanza division • Stanzas • Couplet (pair of lines that rhyme) • Triplet (3 lines that rhyme) • Quatrain (4 lines that rhyme) • Rhyme scheme • Rhythm (the existence of a regular beat How does the structure enhance/take away from the piece?

Analyzing theme & Evaluation Digging Deeper

Theme & Evaluation • Theme • Does the poem have an underlying message? • Does the poem try to tell us something about life or humanity? • Is the poem trying to teach a lesson? • Evaluation • Is an experience intensely felt by the reader? • Does the poem succeed in sharpening the reader’s awareness of something significant?

Theme & Evaluation • In the final part of analysis, the reader offers his/her final thoughts about the poem in general. • An educated guess about the poem’s theme • The reader’s judgment about the poem • Whether the poet achieved his/her purpose • Discussion of how the poem's theme relates to present day life and/or experiences • Of the reader • Of society in general
