Cheers for everyone's comments- interesting reading people's observations on slam vs. rap etc.This was many years ago when I had only just got into slam poetry and was learning about the form, having been solely an MC before that. Check out my more recent work for a more accurate representation of what I'm about. Respect, Omar
Slam Poetry is more monologue sounding, like a speech with flow, alliteration and occasional rhymes; hence the term SPOKEN WORD. If the focus is all on the tempo and having stanzas with equal syllables, then it's RAP (coughthisguycough)

This..is not slam poetry. People think they can just rap without music and call it slam. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!
