it is definitely a viable option moving forward. Social media sites such as Twitter and YouTube are so popular because people are able to get information fairly quick and easy. Many people are more willing to try new things such as listening to poems that accompanied by images or a film acting out the meaning of the poem than they would be to sit and read lyric poems.
