Audience and how they affect everything

Well, it really helps if the audience can actually hear you. But, besides that… whatever you are writing it needs to be understandable to the audience which means keep them in mind when using language. If you are talking to a local group of people you will probably use more slang than if you are talking to a professional committee of some sort. But, furthermore, you have to make sure the context of the poem is actually worth the Audiences attention/can keep the audience’s attention.
