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.
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. Make sure you have 10 syllables in each line.
