If your spoken poetry is strong and rich with imagery, your audience will be able to feel, smell, and taste along with your poem. Tip 2: Use Repetition In any type of poetry, repetition is a simple, yet powerful poetic device. The repetition of a phrase or imagine will help to extend that particular thought or image beyond its original meaning. This can help the writer get a point across or exaggerate a point that they want to make. Tip 3: Incorporate Rhyme The use of rhyming in your poem can add to your performance and make it more entertaining and fun to follow for your audience. Use elements of surprise and moderation when incorporating rhyme into your spoken word poetry. Tip 4: Attitude Every poet’s poem will be unique, and they will also have their own unique perspective of the subject or topic that they choose to write and speak about. It is essential that a spoken word poem is able to capture the feelings that the poet has and covey them to their audience and the rest of the world. Be sure that your poem incorporates a certain attitude or feeling to your audience. Tip 5: Persona As a poet, you can portray anyone and any feelings that you want to in your poetry. Be creative and have fun with the subject you choose. Poem Types Graphic Organizers FREE VERSE Free verse is one of the simplest, and yet most difficult, type of poetry to write. While it doesn’t constrict the poet with rules about form, it requires him or her to work hard at creating a piece that is beautiful and meaningful without any specific guidelines about rhyme and meter. Carefully chosen words can help you create a poem that sounds like the situation, emotion, or object you are trying to portray. Figurative language and imagery is key!
