Topics for Spoken Word Poetry
We've all been there, and it's frustrating as hell. The desire to write a new poem is burning but you have no idea what to write about.
Maybe it's s a school assignment, maybe there is a poetry slam coming up and you want some new material, maybe you just want something new and different on your website (OK, that's projection, you got me).
Whatever the situation, often times the hardest part about writing a poem is identifying a good topic or great idea for your poem.
I've flailed in that river enough times that I have decided to throw you a life saver. Every time I think of new ideas and topics to write poems about they get thrown into my own repository. Slowly, I am trickling them out onto this website and I'll continue to add more and more slam poem topics to this page. So whenever you need a new topic for a slam poem or a new subject or idea for any kind of poetry (free-form, performance, even a soliloquy), feel free to come by and see if I can get your wheels spinning. Also, once you know what to write about, check out this article for some tools and resources to help you along the way: Resources For Writing Spoken Word & Slam Poetry
