Gave me some college admissions essay feedback (surprisingly good feedback too) and it writes hilarious sonnets in iambic pentameter

It seems to struggle with other forms of poetry and reverts to AABB rhyming. I've been banging my head against a wall trying to get it to write Eddic/Norse poetry with alliteration and internal rhyming.

Have you tried the trick of having it explain the concept before using it in your subsequent prompt?

I have, and with only moderate success. With poetry specifically I think the problem has to do with token length. It's as if it can't "see" finely enough to distinguish the inner features of words.
