I found a 6 quatrain stanza monologue poem delivered by the actor, Shannon Brown, Jr. as the character named “Papa” on the hit Showtime series “The Chi”.
In this monologue poem, Papa delivers 6 quatrains where he’s just hating on Jake, played by Michael Epps, and others in the crowd.
In each of the 6 quatrains, the 1st and 3rd lines rhyme while the 2nd and 4th lines (represented by an X) do NOT rhyme. So the rhyme scheme is written like this: axax, bxbx, cxcx, dxdx, exex, fxfx.
If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would speak like a hater or like a stand up comedian who’s making jokes about people in the audience. I would also add more color or emphasis to the unrhymed lines so that they sound like the punch lines to the jokes.
Check out the monologue poem BELOW. Then please LIKE, COMMENT ON and FOLLOW this blog.
