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 .
