What is poetry? Uhmm! I can’ t really describe poetry because everything is poetry. The way a person walks is poetic. It tells a story. But I personally think that is a silent freedom of school everyone possesses. Through poetry we are able to express ourselves. Poetry is more than just words jotted down or uttered. Poetry is spiritual. That’ s how and where you connect with GOD / gods, when writing. You lose yourself in it street poet street poet street poet street poet

My poetry is defined as“ SLAM POETRY”. I address social ills and tell stories from the hood. My poetry or‘ Slam Poetry’ does not necessarily follow standardized grammatical rules. With‘ Slam Poetry’ you break the rules and create your own language to disseminate your message without being restricted. So it is more of a spoken form of poetry than written poetry because when you read it you do not get the same authentic expression or effect the poet wanted to send across. One can only achieve that through listening to the voice of the poet because the voice guides your mood swings and build and ambience.
