Slam Poetry is poetry meant to be read aloud. A movement extremely popular among young poets in the 1990's, it doesn't have many strict rules. These poems are usually performed at open mics, or poetry slams, where the limit to performance time is 3 minutes. Thus many slam poems are around 3 minutes in length. What makes a poem "slam" is the ability to entertain it's audience.
