Pre-literate societies, by definition, have no written literature, but may possess rich and varied Oral Tradition s—such as folk Epic s, Folklore and Folksong —that effectively constitute an oral literature. Literate societies may continue an oral tradition - particularly within the family (for example Bedtime Stories ) or informal social structures. The telling of Urban Legend s may be considered an example of oral literature, as can jokes. Performance Poetry is a genre of poetry that consciously shuns the written form. SEE ALSO
