Zack's performance was really entertaining. Zack came to our school to raise our awareness of Spoken Word, which is an umbrella term that encompasses so many creative outlets. Zack came and specifically presented his slam poetry skills- which were really quite amazing. From his performance I came to the conclusion that slam poetry is a quick spoken poem, Zack's poems, being about life experiences that he has lived through. On top of his original poetry, he told us many stories that were also very personal, these were usually connected to his poems. Zack was also very humorous, and it's always nice to laugh and be entertained in that way during a presentation where you have to sit for long periods of time. I could tell that Zack had been doing this for a while just because of how much skill he had. He recited two or three multi paragraphed poems, right of the top of his head, it was very impressive just listening to his slam poetry, especially understanding that these were real experiences and that he was creative and motivated enough to actually put them into words and make them rhyme, not to mention learn how to speak so fast without combining or skipping words. Overall, i think "cool" is the only way to describe the experience because Zack, an award winning slam poet was nice enough to come to our school and share with us why we should find our own creative outlet.
