Points Worth Observing About Spoken Word And Slam Poetry

Spoken Word and slam poetry are different forms of poetry, connected with a thin thread that defines the difference. Slam poetry is the subset of the spoken word. You may have a different take on this statement, but that's the beauty of being a part of this community. People can have contrasting views. Let's discover more!

  Some terms used in the poetry world:

Spoken word: A blanket term that covers different forms of poetry. It refers to poetry that is read aloud; it may contain elements of theater, stand-up comedy, storytelling, rhetoric, jazz, hip hop, or other forms. Any piece of poetry created for performance fall under the spoken word category.

Slam poetry: Slam poetry is a  term used to refer to poems performed at slams, where the audience has the power to appreciate or disregard a poem.

Beat poetry: Beat poetry is free verse, often surrealistic, and influenced by the cadences of jazz, as well as Zen and Native American spirituality. 

2.   The era of slam poetry:

Slam poetry is in the trend. Slam poetry competitions allow people to share their thoughts poetically. They are judged based on their content, their way of delivering the poem, their enthusiasm, and their style. FNP media provides you a platform where you can share your poem with the audience.

3.     Poetry isn't limited to slam poetry:

Yes, we just said that it is the era of slam poetry, but the poetry world isn't limited to slam. If you don't want five-six random people from the crowd to judge you, then you should note that spoken word happens in other spaces too. You can perform at open mics, themed readings, various clubs, and many other spaces too.

4.     Is poetry dead?

#ispoetrydead is one of the famous hashtags that are in trending on the social media platform. It raises many questions. Is it true that poetry is dead? Why don't people buy poetry books? The answer is no, poetry is not dead. The mode of poetry has changed, for sure, but the field is growing at its pace. Various platforms are there today to share poems, YouTube is one such platform.

5.     Do you also want to share your thoughts and emotions poetically?

DO IT!! What's stopping you? You don't need to be professional to start writing poems, you don't need to leave your studies or jobs and get into this field. You can go for the spoken word at your ease. The important thing is you have to start, you have to be a part of the community, and you have to let the words flow on a paper. Just do it!
