Slam poetry is a very passionate, emotional and often personal type of poetry. It can be humorous and light hearted, but can also be about much darker topics such as mental health, and social and political issues. Often people are telling stories about times in their lives that changed something about themselves, and rather than using traditional poetry techniques its more like a speech.
