Spoken Word Poetry

What is it? Spoken word poetry is poetry that is written on a page but performed for an audience. Heavy use of rhythm, improvisation, free association, rhymes, rich poetic phrases, word play and slang. It is more aggressive and “in your face” than more traditional forms of poetry.

For Example Consider Marshall Soulful Jones’ “Touchscreen” Notice the effect of: The rhythm The rhymes The rich poetic phrases Word play Slang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAx845QaOck Why is this an effective spoken word poem?

What Should I Keep in Mind When Writing a Spoken Word Poem? Use of Concrete Language Vivid images, sounds, actions and other sensations. If your poem is rich with imagery, your listeners will see, smell and taste what you’re telling them. Look at “Childhood” from HBO’s Brave New Voices. How do they create vivid images of childhood? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2A7wD5Rew8

Repetition Repetition is a simple but powerful poetic device. Sometimes just the repetition of a key phrase or image, with extensions of image and thought for each repetition, can help a writer generate exciting poems. Phil Kaye’s “Repetition” is a good example of this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EILQTDBqhPA

Rhyme Rhyming can enrich your poems and performance if used with skill, surprise and moderation. Check out Taylor Mali’s “On Girls Lending Pens” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44sXwJgqUyc

Attitude (Tone) Feelings and opinions are the “stuff” poetry is made of. Each poet has a unique perspective and view of the world that no one else has. It is important that a spoken word poem embodies the courage necessary to share one’s self with the rest of the world. “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa1iS1MqUy4

Persona – Spoken word poetry allows you to be anyone you want to be Persona – Spoken word poetry allows you to be anyone you want to be. You can write a poem in the “voice” of someone or something other than yourself or with a personality trait that is different from your own. See “Don’t Take my Air Jordans” performed by Lemon Andersen http://blog.ted.com/2012/12/07/10-spoken-word-performances-folded-like-lyrical-origami/
