(noun) lengthy and tedious talk expressing little of substance; a superfluity of words.

“I wanna hear a poem where ideas kiss similes so deeply that metaphors get jealous, where the subject matters so much that adjectives start holding pro-noun rallies at city hall.”

Steve Colman - I Wanna Hear A Poem

I was just watching this poem again, it’s brilliant. I generally prefer my poetry in the ilk of Kipling but Def Poetry Jam has made me really enjoy some modern stuff too.
