for this assignment, you are going to choose a famous couple from the list below and write a humorous sonnet that one of these individuals would send to the other.

you may write your sonnet with sincerity and affection, or if you are feeling clever or cynical, you may write a parody. a parody uses the form of the original to poke fun. for this assignment, you would write your parody in sonnet form but employ techniques like hyperbole, understatement, or irony to mock the love poem genre, the idea of love in general, or some dynamic of your chosen couple's relationship.

choices for couples:

mickey and minnie mouse

superman and lois lane

bonnie and clyde

antony and cleopatra

charlie brown and peppermint patty

princess jasmine and aladdin

princess peach and mario (video game)

edward and bella (twilight series)

harry potter and ginny weasley (harry potter series)

john lennon and yoko ono

brad pitt and angelina jolie

beyonce and jay-z

ben affleck and jennifer garner

faith hill and tim mcgraw

arranging and rearranging your brainstormed items may give you ideas of how the poem should flow. then you can add and take away from the words and phrases you have to create a unified poem.

use at least one of the humorous devices we studied in this unit: irony, pun, oxymoron, malapropism, or hyperbole.

remember to structure your sonnet in three quatrains ending with a couplet.

once you have the flow of the poem, work on the rhyme scheme.

the english language is prone to iambic pentameter, so do not worry as much about the unstressed/stressed combination. instead, make sure you have 10 syllables in each line.
