Poetry Slam Essay

On my visit to Bar13 I was instructed to watch a poesy slam. I have never experience such a pictural art of performing rime. The simply way I had experienced poetry before was by reading it from books. This has change the way I larn poetry now. The poetry slam is a very competitive resultant in which the poets perform their work. The poets are judged by people of the audience. The host, who was pregnant, selected the judges who were instructed to throw a numerical check (the score being 0 10).The score was based on the poets content and performance. I was a little hesitant when the host asked me to be a judge. Since this was the first time, I was scared that I wasnt going to be a fair judge. The host explained to me the base rules for the contest and how the poets are selected. The first rule one is that each verse must be the poets own work. The second is that each poet gets only three minutes to read or say the poem.The third is that they give the gatet use any musical instrument or costumes and the quaternate and last one is that from the score the poets receive the high and low loads are dropped and the middle three are added together giving them a total score of 0 30. Before the contest started the microphone was sacrifice to other poets. In my opinion in that location were a couple of poets who were good. later the opening performance was done, the host presented a poet who has competed before. Her name was Gypsee. She performed for about 45 minutes, the content of her work was very good and her performance was excellent.I have in mind she has practice a lot. I remember clearly two of her poems. matchless talked about crossing the Canadian bridge into the United States as an immigrant (she was natural in Albania). The second one was about her childhood and soldiers with shotguns. During the slam there was different kind of poetry.It was very interesting to listen to a versatile reach of work within the slam. It included love poetry, social issues, ain problems and even some were kind of comic. What I really deal was the range of poets presented they are free to do work in any genius on any subject. I will recommend it to my friends and I would like to go back, it was a nice experience.
