hip-hop, storytelling, theater, and jazz, rock, blues, and
folk music.

word play, spoken word poems frequently refer to issues
of social justice, politics, race, and community.
-​ Related to slam poetry, spoken word may draw on music,
sound, dance, or other kinds of performance to connect
with audiences.

but performed for an audience. Because it is performed,
this poetry tends to demonstrate a 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
