MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN: QUATRAINS ON BAD MEMORIES

     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.

ALMOST PARADISE: ALEX VENTS OUT QUATRAINS

     I found a monologue poem from the new Freevee drama series “Almost Paradise” which stars Christian Kane as retired D.E.A. agent, Alex Walker.
     This monologue poem shows Alex Walker venting out his frustrations about the drug war to Detective Kai Mendoza played by Filipino actress Samantha Richelle.
     This monologue poem is written in 12 quatrain stanzas where the 1st and 3rd lines rhyme while the 2nd and 4th lines DO NOT rhyme at all. So, the rhyme scheme would be written like this: axax, bxbx, cxcx, dxdx, etc.
     If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would speak with lots of vehemence, anger, and frustration. I would just vent out all of my frustrations onto the audience.

THIS FOOL: LUIS’S MISDIRECTION MONOLOGUE

     I found an awesome monologue poem from the new Hulu comedy show “THIS FOOL”.
     In this latino comedy about life after being released from prison, Frankie Quiñones plays a character named Luis.
     In this funny, but not funny misdirection monologue poem, Luis relates what the California prison system did to him to the movie Austin Powers and he ends up saying some incredibly profound stuff.
      This monologue poem is 11 tercet stanzas where the 1st and 3rd lines rhyme but the 2nd line (represented by an X) never rhymes. So you end up with a rhyme scheme that looks like this: axa, bxb, cxc, dxd, exe, fxf, gxg, hxh, ixi, jxj, kxk.
      If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would do some misdirection with how I speak the lines. I would start out by making the audience think I’m gonna be funny. I would start off talking comically about the Austin Powers movie. Then when the audience least expects it, I would would turn serious and profound by comparing the Austin Powers movie with the California prison system. I may even try to do this monologue with a cool southern California latino accent.
     This is a latino comedy, but I think people of all nationalities and ethnicities will be able to relate to this show. Check out the monologue poem BELOW, then please LIKE, COMMENT ON, and FOLLOW this blog.

GAME OF THRONES: TYRION’S QUATRAINS

     I found one of Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister monologue poems from the hit TV show “Game Of Thrones“.
     In this monologue poem, Tyrion is pleading his case of innocence after being accused of killing Joffrey. In the end he asks for a trial by combat.
     This monologue poem is written in 10 end-rhymed quatrains where the 1st and 3rd lines rhyme will the 2nd and 4th line do NOT rhyme at all.
     Another thing to take note of in this monologue poem, is that the Tyrion character loves to use the pronoun I, the Long “i” sound as you would hear in the word die and the short “i” sound that you hear in the word wish.
     If I were to perform this monologue poem, I might try an accent that emphasizes the long “i” and short “i” sounds and I would speak the lines that rhyme with more vehemence than the unrhymed lines.

TWISTED METAL: SWEET TOOTH’S TRIPLET RHYME

     I found a very short monologue poem from the new Twisted Metal TV series that’s on Peacock.
      In this monologue poem, Sweet Tooth, the killer clown, is expressing anger toward his parents.
      Sweet Tooth speaks in Triplets. A Triplet is a tercet (3 line stanza) where all three lines rhyme. So this monologue poem is four triplets written in aaa, bbb, ccc, ddd rhyme scheme. The Triplets give the poem a rap music feel
      Another thing I noticed is that Sweer Tooth likes to rhyme subject pronouns like “I” and “You”.
      If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would speak the lines as if I’m rapping a verse. My flow would emphasize the subject pronouns. Sweet Tooth is a pronoun rapper.

I found one of Josh Brolin’s Thanos monologue poems from the “Avengers: Endgame” movie.
In this monologue poem Thanos tells the listener about how he wants to change the world by destroying it and starting over again.

      This 7 quatrain monologue poem has a weird rhyme scheme. Each stanza is two lines that rhyme inside of two lines (represented by an x) that do NOT rhyme: xaax, xbbx, xccx, xddx, xeex, xffx, xggx,
     If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would speak the lines with lots of hope in my voice for a better future. I would also emphasize the weird rhyme scheme by speaking the unrhymed x lines flatly with speaking the rhymed lines with more vehemence.

“You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you?
Back to
me. I

thought by
eliminating half
of life, the other half
would thrive,

but you have shown me… that’s impossible.
And as
long as
there are those

that remember what was,
there will always be
those, that are unable to accept what can be.
They will resist…I’m thankful.

Because now
I know what I
must do. I
will shred this universe

down to its last
atom and then, with the
Stones you’ve collected for me, create a
new one.

Teeming with life.
That knows not what it has
lost, but only what it has
been given. A grateful universe.”

RABBIT HOLE: KIEFER SUTHERLAND’S TERCETS

     I found one of Kiefer Sutherland’s John Weir monologue poems from the TV show “Rabbit Hole”.
     In this short monologue poem, John is explaining the way his mind works to the listener
     Its 5 front Rhymed tercets written in song format: aax, bbx, ccx, ddx, eex, rhyme scheme.
    If I were to perform this monologue poem, I would definitely emphasize the 1st syllable of the 1st two lines of each stanza and then speak the final line of each stanza very flatly.

LOKI SPEAKS IN ENCLOSED TERCETS

This is short monologue poem delivered by Tom Hiddleston as the character Loki in the Avengers movie.

Its written in a series of 5 front rhymed enclosed tercets that have the axa,bxb,cxc,dxd,exe Rhyme Scheme.

Each line should be spoken like a declarative sentence. Each line should be spoken with authority and power, condescending, like you’re looking down your nose at the listener.

Kneel before me.
I said…
KNEEL!

Is not this
simpler?
Is this not your natural state? It’s

the unspoken truth of humanity that
you crave subjugation.
The bright lure of freedom diminishes

your life’s joy in a
mad scramble for power.
For identity.

You were made to be ruled.
In the end,
you will always kneel.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS: LASZLO’S ENCLOSED QUATRAINS

I found this great 9 stanza comedic monologue poem from the FX series “What We Do In The Shadows”.
     The speaker is a British vampire named Laszlo who’s hiding undercover as an average American in a Pennsylvania township under the alias Jackie Daytona.
     This monologue poem is written in 9 enclosed quatrain stanzas with the weird rhyme scheme of XAAX, XBBX, XCCX, XDDX, XEEX, XFFX, XGGX, XHHX, XIIX, where X is a line that doesnt rhyme with anything.
      to perform this monologue poem, Please remember that this is a COMEDIC monologue poem. Have fun with. Play around with pronouncing the syllables like a Brit who’s trying to sound American. Play around with the weird enclosed rhyme scheme. I feel like alot of the lines should be spoken ironically, especially when Laszlo speaks about how he was able to take over the Bar and Grille when the previous owner mysteriously disappeared because Laszlo killed him. Take your time and ENJOY doing this awesome monologue poem.

After all that nonsense on Staten Island,
I cut loose to Pennsylvania
because it sounded like Transylvania.
We all know that sounds cool.

I infiltrated the township posing as your average American Yankee Doodle Dandy and I took over Lucky
Brews Bar and Grille.

The previous owner,
he
mysteriously
disappeared…because I killed him.

And I’ve not looked back since.
I now go by the name of Daytona,…
Jackie Daytona.
And I’ll tell you something.

Jackie Dayton’s life,
it ain’t so bad.
Not bad
at all.

No one here
knows I’m a
vampire…apart from the
people I’ve drained and killed,

but they’re dead now,
so that problem’s pretty
much solved itself. I’ve truly
grown to love

this township,
so I have rid it
of some motor bicycle criminals. It
may have sprang

from necessity,
but now, I
feel as though I
may never depart.
