Summary/Abstract: The article tackles The new form of poetry subject, supported by ICT means, the digital one, proliferating between different literary species that appear and develop in cyberspace (i.e. cyber poem or cyber poetry, e-poetry, holopoetry, Google poetry, video poetry, etc.). The Video Poetry is a poetry with a special form, it’s a video Art including poetry texts framed upon different acoustic and visual levels; it can be found within World Wide Web, but also through different online Apps, including You Tube Channels. Among Literary and Cyberspace Products can be mentioned the Video Poems realized by the Band FiRMA in cooperation with Romania Broadcast Center, they efficiently combines the voice of the Poet, pictures and forms merged together in the animated digital space.In Republic of Moldova the Video Poem is outlined due to the activity of the Laboratory Theatre “Arts and Thinking” performed by Artiom Oleacu, Claudiu Komartin, Artur Cojocaru, Veronica Ștefaneț, Dimitrie Stelaru, Vitalina Simerețchi, Radu Vancu etc. I guess that proves the Video poem is far from demolishing the Traditional Poetry nor the Postmodernism one, it’s just a recycled form of Arts.
