    Unlike traditional printed literature, it has features that could only be presented through
    multimedia.

    Kinds of Electronic Literature


    Hyperpoetry This is a kind of graphic poetry, which combines words with
    images. It has no standard lines or verses, but its words are arranged in a way that
    it creates meaning and visual effect.
    Hyperfiction This contains hyperlinks. When readers click on a hyperlink, they
    go to another Web page that contains the next part of a story.
    Photo poem This uses real-life images or electronically generated images as
    representation of the textual poem.
    Silent comics These have no verbal dialogues. The dialogues are presented
    through symbols.

    activities, and experiences.

    Example:
    A Textula (2013)
    by Frank G. Rivera
    Bayang mahilig sa ganda
    Inuuna ang postura
    Walang laman ang bituka
    Kundi gasgas na pag-asa.
    Si MEGAN YOUNG nang manalo
    Nagbunyi ang Pilipino

    May dala sanang asenso


    Magkakapag-asa tayo.
    Nagkagyera sa Mindanao
    Kaban ng bayan ninakaw
    Sa Bagyoy daming pumanaw
    MISS WORLD, salamat sa araw.
    (Reproduced by permission of Frank Rivera)

    patinig, wherein the last words of the lines have the same vowel sound, and
