In this world, poetry has many forms of expression, short and long, written on paper or carved on walls, but this time our focus is on Spoken word poetry, let's appreciate its beauty together.
Spoken poetry "is a modern concept and a major branch of modern poetry, not a hodgepodge of poetry with a tendency towards colloquialism or colloquialism throughout history. But it also includes many forms of performance related to this aspect. Spoken poetry originated in the classical era and developed in the United States in the early 20th century. The program gained attention in the second half of the 20th century, and the concept of "spoken poetry" was born against the backdrop of the first wave of spoken poetry brought about by the "third generation" theme poets. It was born from the underground writing of poets from 1982 to 1985. Its freshness has won the pursuit and imitation of industry peers, and its readability has been highly liked and pursued by many ordinary readers,and the speeches delivered by civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr.’s ‘I Have a Dream’ contained the elements of oral tradition and helped the development of the spoken word movement.that is very great.
The oldest place for spoken poetry is the New York Poets Cafe in 1973. In 1990, the first spoken poetry competition was held in San Francisco. The content of spoken poetry is a theme, such as promoting political issues and safeguarding human rights. The structure of spoken poetry is a portal that tells the audience the content of the poem and the direction of the story. In spoken poetry, word games can be used to make performances more interesting. We can use alliteration, consonants, rhyme, repetition, and onomatopoeia to form a poem. The power cord is the last line of spoken poetry, usually telling the main idea of the work.
But in fact, the emergence of modern poetry in people's lives is still rare, not mainstream, and like spoken poetry, very few people know about it. At least in my life, I rarely hear anyone mention these things. People still pay more attention to novels and other categories, and there are still very few people who pay attention to oral poetry, But in fact, the stories or content about the focus and narration of spoken poetry are all about things that are very worthy of people's attention and urgently need to be solved. Therefore, from my current perspective, I believe it is important to attract more people's attention to spoken poetry.
Overall,the above is my understanding and explanation of spoken poetry.
