Abstract

As one of the literary genres, poetry has also begun to experience new forms of adaptation in the world of digital literature. One of these forms is audio-visual literature. Audio-visual poetry uses media such as YouTube as its publication medium. This can be seen in the emergence of youtube accounts that consistently produce audio-visual poems. The audio-visual poems on several accounts have even been watched by millions of viewers. This study aims to determine the physical and mental structure of audio-visual poems on these accounts and to describe the appearance of audio-visual poetry on Youtube digital media. This research is included in descriptive qualitative research. This study analyzes 12 Youtube audio-visual poems that are considered the most popular. The audio-visual poems were taken from 6 different Youtube channels, namely the poems “Ajari Aku untuk Melepaskanmu” and “Rindu untuk Ayah” from Pena Safa's Youtube account. Poems “Ketika Kukira Aku Istimewa” and “Harapan yang Tumbuh, Hati Yang Patah”from the Fictionalism Youtube account. The poems “Curahan Hati Seorang Perokok” and “Rokok dan Kamu 2” from the Normantin TV Youtube account. Poems “Cinta” and “Rasa dan Perasaan” from Ega Nugraha's Youtube account. The poems “Sakitnya Aku Mencintaimu” and “Ingin Menangis Sebentar Saja” from the Youtube account Jejak Sulas. The poems "“Menangislah” and “Desember dan Lukanya”Some poems such as "When I Think I'm Special" and “Cinta” are not the work of the Youtube account owner, but are the work of other people who are read out. The poem “Ketika Kukira Aku Istimewa” is the work of Fiersa Bersari and the poem “Cinta” is a famous poem by Khalil Gibran. The aspects analyzed are the physical and mental structure as well as the audio-visual form of poetry on the digital media Youtube.
