Wham! Bam! Slam... Poetry

Warning: major fangirling ahead. Reader discretion is advised.
I can't even count how
 many times I've watched that movie anymore.

I really love poetry. I mean I have an entire board dedicated to it on Pinterest, it's maybe a third of what I post on Tumblr, and practically everything that fills all my journals. You think I'm kidding, but I have at least eight journals that I can just pick up and start writing things in for any situation.
If you're wondering, yes that is a cowgirl riding a pony on the American flag.
My childhood was memorable. Not to mention I can't even unlock that journal.
 
Now if I'm going to be all informational and maybe a bit educational I have to throw in a definition here and there because you all probably know that...
 
po·et·ry
ˈpōətrē,ˈpōitrē :" literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature."
 
 
Because who doesn't know the sophisticated and wordy definitions like Google off the top of a hat! How many of you know what slam poetry is though? You may have heard of it here and there, seen a few videos like the ones below, but what is it really?
