Today’s monologue poem is from Season 2 Episode 1 of the Paramount Plus crime thriller “Mayor Of Kingstown” starring Jeremy Renner.
In this monologue poem, Mike McLusky, played by Jeremy Renner, is venting out some advice that his father gave him about how to get rid of bad memories. He concludes that bad memories can only be removed from the mind by madness and dementia.
This monologue poem is written in 7 quatrain stanzas where the 1st and 3rd lines rhyme while the 2nd and 4th lines(represented by an X) DO NOT rhyme. The rhyme scheme would be written like this: axax, bxbx, cxcx, dxdx, exex, fxfx, gxgx,
If I were to perform this monologue, I would focus on adding some extra color to my voice while speaking the lines that rhyme and then speaking the unrhymed lines more flatly. This will give the poem a jazz like feel similar to when the jazz musicians add extra color to there melodies by jumping on and off the beat.
