Show Me Poetry

Show Me Poetry Poetry Slam in Springfield, MO. 2023. Every LAST Sunday (except May, November and December) This is a beautiful night that will change how you see the world.

The "Show Me Poetry" Poetry Slam is an opportunity for poets to compete and share their original poetry, and for the audience to experience the community at work. In a rotation of three rounds, poets have three minutes to present one original poem per round. This slam encourages the audience to take part in the show as well, either as one of the five volunteer judges, or by simply cheering on the poets and booing the scores they feel were too low. Come out and join us!
