Curbside Poetry Slam and Curbside Poetry Slam Ground Rules

Curbside Poetry Slam A genre of written composition. Pochinuk (pen name for Christine Flaugher) is documenting this form as a genre of written expression different from Poetry Slam Competitions.

Take a poem you wrote and put words nearby to tell a story. Just like street parking your vehicle near the place where you are going. Basically you slam the door on the poem, it no longer stands alone. It keeps company with your story to create a written work. This composition does not have anything to do with a Poetry Slam Competition. You can embed rules of Poetry Slam in your writing if you want to; but it is not necessary. This genre of writing was conceived with this name, because, no one but you, the writer parks your story next to your poem. You can collaborate and groups of authors can write Curbside Poetry Slam. What poem to use, and you can only use one, will be the decision of the group. The group can also write one poem together. One group member is then chosen to be the author of the final work. The Footslogger is a primitive example of Curbside Poetry Slam. The Footslogger breaks one ground rule, its title shares the same name as the poem. Phrases used in poetry slam competitions can be found in its text. This is done purposefully, particularly the phrase“in-between”. This is the description given to what sacrificial judges initiate in some competitions to keep a healthy beginning to the judgement of the competitive poets participating in the arena. In The Footslogger, Darren and Joe dialog using this phrase, and it implies a decision of the poet. Not a decision placed upon the poet. Draw your own conclusions about The Footslogger, the name given to the poem, and the poet in this primitive example of Curbside Poetry Slam. It also includes the fact that the poet did not use a card when presenting her poem at the competition, because it was given afterward to Darren. Generally in Poetry Slam Competition reciting from memory is more admirable, but not required than reading off your cards. Again, it is strongly suggested that Poetry Slam Competition not be necessitated when creating Curbside Poetry Slam. The competition and this genre must stay isolated in every-way possible. Curbside Poetry Slam is a genre in its own right. Artistic compositions that are formed by the use of informally hitting your poem, taking it off your page, and bringing it back again to your work. (a.k.a. slamming)  It is a style of writing and the subject matter is inexhaustible. A form should be followed in order to accurately define Curbside Poetry Slam. A list of ground rules will follow. The set word count is no more than 600 words, this does not include the poem, or the use of the name of the poem in the body of the work. So, simply, if the poem was haiku containing fourteen words; then, of course the complete Curbside Poetry Slam composition could not exceed 614. If the name of the Haiku Poem was Wind, and the word “wind” was used eight times in the body of the story; the final word count could exceed 600 by this 8. (608).
