Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anybody write it?
Read it?
Thoughts on it?
Probably my favorite type of poetry given my liking of hip hop and poetry.

One of the best slam poems I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOv47njeLHQ
I've never heard a 'slam' poem that could keep my interest, and I've never meet a 'slam' poet who wasn't a total douchebag.
I absolutely love slam poetry!

Well actually I haven't heard a lot of it, but Taylor Mali writes some pretty awesome stuff. I have performed his work and it was pretty sweet. Even in the Poetry category where everything is depressing, his poems fit right in [even though they're rather funny sometimes].
I've always wanted to hear a completely happy and up-beat slam poem. Still waiting on that to happen.

Slam poetry is basically what happens when I decide to be a rant-happy chauvinistic jerk on stage instead of on the internet.

I hate to say it, but I've got to agree. I avoid slam nowadays.
