Performance Poems
Performance poems are poems which are written for the purpose of performing to an audience or, at the very least, which acknowledge an audience or are intended to be read aloud. However, the audience could simply be a child listening to a story poem read aloud at bedtime. In other words, a poem which is so much better when expressed aloud for the purposes of someone hearing or seeing it performed rather than simply reading it, or which relies upon some level of interaction with an audience.
