Spoken Word Poetry

What makes the difference between poetry and a song? Are all songs poems?  Are all poems songs?

​

Spoken Word Poetry focuses on the artistry of words.  It is a delightful dual between freedom and discipline.  Spoken Word is an oral performance that lifts a poem off the page through voice, intonation, body language, facial expression, and emotion.   

​

I have been a poet since I was first able to scribble down cohesive phrases, with my earliest works dating as far back as grade three.  Writing poetry has been a fantastic forum for expression and has become a cherished outlet.
