UPDATE: I notice that over time this sign has evolved. It seems most people are now doing the sign starting with an "S" handshape (or a "closed O" handshape).
POETRY (slightly out of date version) (Should now start with an "S" hand.)
Memory tip: The idea is to take the beauty in your heart and offer it up to the world.Animation: Poetry ("from the heart" version)
POETRY (Very old initialized version of "music")
You can initialize the above sign for MUSIC by using a "P" handshape on the dominant hand. That changes the meaning to "poetry" instead of music. The initialized version is considered by many to be "signed English."
