This is rather non-traditional poetry, but I first learned about it in the poetry unit of a literature class, so I have it on good authority that it counts!
The El Bimbo Variations by Adam David is a collection of 99 variations on the theme of the first line of Ang Huling El Bimbo (The Last El Bimbo) by the Eraserheads, an iconic Nineties song about first love and later loss. (I did the English translations of each variation myself.)
