William Shatner delivered a powerful 14 stanza monologue poem as Captain James T. Kirk on an episode of Star Trek: The Original Series.
In this monologue poem, Captain Kirk is telling the listeners that the human race should NOT be scared to take on some risk in order to acquire knowledge and advancement for our species.
This monologue poem is written in 14 front rhymed couplets (2 line stanzas). The rhyme scheme is: aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff, gg, hh, etc…
If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would speak each couplet like it was a single line by letting the 1st line flow into the 2nd. I would place a brief pause AFTER the 2nd line of each couplet stanza. I would speak each couplet as if it were an imperative sentence where I’m giving a command to the listener.
Check out the monologue poem BELOW. Then please LIKE, COMMENT ON and FOLLOW this blog.
