R.E.D.R.U.M.

Acrostic write #2

Running from the frightening apparitions and visions

Echoes of malice erupt in his mind

Diabolical intentions begin to manifest

Raging insanity, blood consumes the Overlook

Unaltered telepathic predictions exposing

Murderous acts for permanent residency

Author's Note

A tribute to one of my favourite movies..."THE SHINING"

Reviews

Love it -- a perfect poem. And hurray for Stephen King. Now as to movie versus book, sorry Jack, the book is much better. What about the Friend's episode where Joey puts the book in the freezer! Ha. And Red, me too -- except Doctor Sleep, that is still by my bed.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you. I wanna read doctor sleep as well. Just can't get myself to buy it. I'll get it this weekend.

Every time I see an acrostic I always think "Jesus, what are these things called again" Thanks for putting it in your intro. I saw that movie. That actress sure knew how to make a terrified face. It's no wonder she got that roll and jack, well, no one does deranged lunatic quite like Jack. Good acrostic bro. Thanks

[Rob Santana]

I didn't even know what they were called either until I looked it up, haha. Then I thought I was all cool saying I'm gonna write me an acrostic, hahaha what a moron. Yeah Jack has that lunatic face that never changes. Thanks Man.

This is one of my favorite movies too! You've captured the essence of the story in these 6 lines. REDRUM was one of the scariest scenes too. Stanley Kubrick brought this Stephen King story to life, it was scary as hell and the remakes can't even compare. This write is very cool, brother.

[Rob Santana]

Thanks damien. I agree, Stanley Kubrick did bring the book to life.

Excellently crafted acrostic here. The Shining is one of my favorite books and movies - you did a great job hitting the highlights of this horror classic!

[Glen Yumang Manese]

Interesting development within the lines --- of this acrostic...and by your author's note of the movie and all...you could actually read this forwards and backwards...and still make sense of it...just wonder if any one else noticed that in the verse...Good day...

[Rob Santana]

Thank you for the read Glen. I believe you're the first to notice that, although someone did say hey REDRUM is murder backwards. Uummm yeah, that didn't count, hahaha!

[Glen Yumang Manese]
