The study employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of the Indonesian language teacher and eighth-grade students. Data regarding the implementation of poetry instruction using CapCut were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative approach. The results indicate that the poetry writing instruction using CapCut was conducted in three stages: the introductory phase, the core activity, and the closing phase. In the introductory phase, the teacher outlined the learning objectives. During the core activity, students wrote poems based on a predetermined theme and then packaged them into poetry videos using the CapCut application. In the closing phase, each group presented their work, and the teacher provided a reflection on the material covered. Assessment was conducted to evaluate both the learning process and the students' learning outcomes. The findings suggest that using the CapCut application as a medium for poetry writing instruction positively impacted the learning process, enhanced student creativity, and supported better learning outcomes for the eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Paguyaman Pantai.]]>
