The first time I heard the term "poetry slam", I pictured a guy standing on stage in a dimly lit coffeehouse, reciting his lines, while dodging flying tomatoes and being mercilessly heckled by the audience:


"You suck!"

"Transparently contrived dithyrambism!"

"Inept enjambment!"

"Derivative!"

"Iambic pentameter went out with Stevens!"

"Keep your day job!"




Sometimes, I still picture them that way.   Popcorn
