Slam poetry typically involves a performance where poets recite their original works in front of an audience and judges. The primary rules include a time limit, usually around three minutes, and the material must be original. Performances are judged based on content, delivery, and audience engagement, often on a scale of 0 to 10. Additionally, poets are generally prohibited from using props or costumes to enhance their performance.
A poetry slam is a meeting and competition between poets who perform their own original modern work. The competition is typically held in a coffee house or small stage venue, but there are large annual nationwide competitions with audiences of thousands. The poetry at a slam is not necessarily different from that of 'regular' poetry, however, due to the nature of a poetry slam competition, often the poetry is more stylistically similar to a well composed rap, delivered emotionally and powerfully, rather than a recited couplet. This style is typically referred to as 'Spoken Word' type poetry, because the poems are meant to be received as a stage performance of the author rather than seen on the page, although there is often crossover. 'Modern' poetry typically means poetry written in the last 20 years that is NOT written to be performed as spoken word---often in this type of poetry, style matters more than aspects such as rhythm and rhyme, both of which are qualities of Spoke Word poetry (or Slam poetry) that are well received by a hip-hop influenced audience.
