jazz poetry

Jazz poetry is poetry infused with the free improvisatory feeling or actual improvisational structure of Jazz. Whereas the poem is written, its emphasis is on conveying the rhythm and cadence of Jazz in the speaking or performance of it.
"Jazz poetry swings a rhythm the beat a cadence is free delights like Jazz itself is free and fresh and always in the groove."

Every moment i spend with u is worth every buck,
and all i want to do is you to fuck.

and pull down my pants and just suck my dick.
I want to makeout with you like a bunch of noobs ,

Urban Poetry

A Poem with no descriptions of nature. All Urban Poetry has true life experiences through people. Urban Poetry evokes thought through the human experience, without transcendence at the moment of the experience.
The Urban Poet always see's finality. In Urban Poetry: when you die, you die. In Urban Poetry when you love, it is real at that moment, your love never turns into flowers and drifts to the heavens.

Retards Attempting Poetry

RAP is actually an acronym for Retards Attempting Poetry.
People who want to look "hard" like to blast "RAP" from their stereo speakers. In reality these "thugs" are insecure and illiterate.

Staccato Poetry

"Staccato" is the Italian word, meaning detached. In music a dot is usually placed above the music note, indicating those notes should be distinctly seperate, while also being short in length.

"Staccato Poetry" is a term applying to abrubt, short, detached, distinct, choppy poetry; a term used by poet Maia Szekeley to describe her style of writing.

Similar to Haiku, but not the same. Staccato Poetry has no set meter or form. The point is brevity. Saying as much as you can, in as few words as possible.

This kind of poetry should have a musical quality to it, abrubt and distinct, when read.

This poetic style can also be attributed to Belfast writer Ciaran Carson, whose 2003 poem 'Breaking' broke from his usual meandering works, to be labelled Staccato.
Examples of Staccato Poetry by Szekeley.

unmoving in the sky

tiny orbs of light

like stars, flickering

all those people

going somewhere

i want to feel you with palms,

and fingers, and fingertips,

mouth too, lips

emo poetry

Emo poetry is uslually written with pain. When the emo girl/boy expirences something they dont like to talk about or it just hurts to much they would most likley write poetry about it.

Normaly poetry isnt explaining it. Its more of a puzzle. But... Something you have to think about for a minute. Sometimes they put reasons for the things they write at the end. There are many types of emo poetry, some are joyfull then suddenly drop to pure sadness. Some are even sick.
This is an example of Emo Poetry written by an Emo Girl-

The light is dimming.
I’m getting weaker.
My breathing gets harder at every breath.
Harder.
Now Harder.
People around me.
I think.
Otherwise Angels.
Or demons.
I cant tell.
I don’t care.
Tell me you love me,
and that everything will be alright between you and me.
That we can be friends again.
That you don’t love her.
It just might be my life.
I feel my body hit the ground.
People,
Angels,
demons,
whatever they are,
yelling or maybe talking.
I don’t know.
You just don’t say anything.
You only sit there,
not knowing anything that’s happening to me.
My heart skips a beat.
Another.
And Before I know it,
my life falls to pieces.
