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

[Lyn Anderson]

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.

Kl...i've read The Stand eighteen times...lmao!! You know its my favorite!!

"just a little trouble with the old sperm bank, Lloyd"...i gotta say this is a brilliant idea, to give credence to a classic horror movie in a poem and to make it have a glaring acrostic clue emblazened upon each line...i was thinking "the shining" the whole time but "the Overlook" cinched it for me in the end. well done!

[Rob Santana]

Haha, I heard Jack's voice in that line. Thank you.

[quinfinn]

that was the idea, loved him in that movie

[Lina Grey]

[Lina Grey]

you're welcome

[Danielle]

Brilliant!

[Rob Santana]

Thank you Shia.

[Shane Blackheart]

Very, very nice acrostic. I have tried to do them in the past, but I have never done something like this. The Shining is an awesome movie, this did it justice, I believe. I also love the words you used.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you Miss Gorey.

[Ethale Captor]

I will have to watch this spoken of "The Shining" movie now.

[Rob Santana]

Oh yes watching THE SHINING is mandatory!!! Make sure its the original with Jack Nicholson. Then this acrostic piece will really come to life!! Let me know what you thought of the movie. Thanks for the read and review.

[Ethale Captor]

I will watch it, and you are welcome.

[Relic]

Such a great movie and this is a great tribute to it. You have a nice sense of word choice in your poems that is interesting, adding spice to each line which grabs the reader. Nice work.

[Rob Santana]

Thank you very much Relics.

[Enid Blake]
