Poetry

Through my experiences with poetry my favorite has been spoken word poetry. I like it because it is a form of performance art. All writing and poetry is art, but performance art speaks to me. There is an astounding amount of emotion that is poured into spoken word, and it takes a lot of bravery to present a piece of poetry in front of an audience. My least favorite thing about poetry is probably the rules that are associated with it-- like how many lines it has to be, the structure of the lines, etc.
