A slam poem is a poem written to be read in front of an audience, typically during a poetry competition. Slam poems are usually expressive and/or opinionated. They are written about a topic that the author feel passionately or strongly about. Important lines are often repeated multiple times during the poem. Slam poems are often written using complete sentences in paragraph form, yet they sound poetic. They are often fast paced, memorized and recited, and include changes in volume and pace. They often mixed with poetic devices such as metaphors, similes, alliteration. Your slam poem should be an expression of how you feel about your theme or an aspect of your theme.

It should be personal and powerful, drawing the audience in and making them feel the same emotions you do. Use your body language and tone of voice to add emphasis and make your words come to life. You should aim to make a connection with your audience, to make them understand your perspective and empathize with your experiences. Your poem should be full of energy and conviction, leaving a lasting impression on those who hear it. Make it authentic, make it real, and above all, make it yours.
