Andrea Dietrich Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

A Scary Movie

The kind of film most women love to see
is all about romance, thus women pick
a type of show that paints the fantasy 
of love sublime, so it’s dubbed a chick flick.

I like the fun ones and the sad ones too,
but there’s another genre I like more!
Though dramas with great plot will always do,
there is one type of drama I adore!

There’s nothing like good horror and suspense.
Inside the theater there is a hush
as tension builds, and feelings grow intense,
for your adrenaline will get a rush!

The films like Hitchcock made I never missed.
I love a scary movie with a twist!


July 19, 2017 for the S Form contest of Broken Wings:
Sonnet form. Chosen word: Scary

Eve Roper August 18, 2017 at 2:43 AM Back to congratulate you on your win ~* :)

Gregory Richard Barden August 16, 2017 at 3:17 AM This is wonderful, Andrea, and I adore Hitch movies!! (And any good suspense - I'm about to watch Alien: Covenant for the first time - Ridley Scott is my fav!) Such a well-deserved win, my friend! Blessings! :-) <3

Hannah Borke August 7, 2017 at 6:08 PM Violence in movies destroyed western society. Violence is normalized to children, and when they are in an eventual crises, violence is natural. Never should violence have been aired anywhere.

Connie Marcum Wong August 1, 2017 at 12:09 AM I like Hitchcock movies too and have every one of his, but as for scary, the Shinning was tops! I never saw Jack Nicholson the same way again after that movie. Great writing Andrea. Wish we lived close enough to see movies together. "Boss Baby" is out now and my daughter is buying it as we all saw it together and it was very amusing. : )

John Michaels July 31, 2017 at 3:03 PM Massive fan of the horror genre, so this is right up my street! Good luck with the contest, Andrea. Regards, John.

Jack Horne July 27, 2017 at 11:53 AM you've captured it exactly, my friend - much better than 'romance' any day, LOL

Scott Thirtyseven July 25, 2017 at 9:05 AM Not a big fan of horror movies myself, but your great write makes them sound unmissable. Great write, all the best in the contest.

Kudzai Mhangwa July 25, 2017 at 8:15 AM Nice poem Andrea! I love some of those movies that you've posted! Nothing much like a scary movie every once in a while

Russell Sivey July 24, 2017 at 6:13 AM Hey Andrea! I am still in school for my Masters in Poetry! It's going well. In fact I am taking my poetry class right now, this term. That is why I have time to post my poetry that I have been working on for class, plus other poetry as well. The next bunch of classes are creative writing classes as I took all the harder classes first and got them out of the way. And I should have time to post and respond to poetry without a problem. I have 5 classes to finish my degree, I've done 7 so far! TTYL!

Kim Rodrigues July 23, 2017 at 10:41 PM Hitchcock was a master of suspense! GL in the contest!

Nette Onclaud July 23, 2017 at 10:56 AM okay, i like these films as well, andie.. all i need is to psyche myself first before watching a scary movie... did so for silence of the lambs... wonderful sonnet.. huggs

Paul Callus July 23, 2017 at 8:15 AM I like scary movies, too, Andrea, especially those with a twist! When I was in my teens I used to read all the horror stories that came my way....now my g'daughter has taken after me:) Regards // paul

Afolabi Muideen July 22, 2017 at 11:12 AM Especially those with suspense and rich with dramatic irony. I hope things wins.

Pashang Salehi July 22, 2017 at 3:31 AM Oh Madam Sonnetier, you have done it again...

Afzal Nusker July 21, 2017 at 10:59 PM If you enjoy watching horror then I bet you must have watched American Horror Story. I have been watching all the seasons and I loved The black mirror too. Such a layered show.

Joseph May July 21, 2017 at 6:11 PM You highlighted some of the best Andrea.....Nicely penned..

Matthew Anish July 21, 2017 at 3:56 PM I don't like scary movies too much - I don't know if I am going to see Stephen King's "The Dark Tower". I do recommend "A Quiet Passion" which is about Emily Dickinson. You can stream in on your computer. I like the way you rhymed in this poem. Most modern poetry doesn't rhyme. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Anne-Lise Andresen July 21, 2017 at 2:53 PM - Fearless in the film world, Andrea :) - Great written - Luck in the contest - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Joanna Daniel July 21, 2017 at 5:46 AM I'd fall under the first stanza, I guess, great sonnet, Andrea:) I like mystery too, but not scary ones:)

Eve Roper July 20, 2017 at 10:54 PM Great write sonnet, Andrea, I love movies , but not the scary ones.... I know I'm a coward... :) best of luck in the contest

Russell Sivey July 20, 2017 at 10:27 PM I believe you have written a winner here Andrea! I really enjoyed reading your elaborate and wondrously worded piece here this evening! You have brought me delight by your fabulous writing, and I have certainly been enamored by your incredible skill! Your first stanza was spectacular. My poetry Professor would love that stanza the most! Great Work!!

Curtis Johnson July 20, 2017 at 12:18 PM Hi Andrea. You portrayed your movie likes so well. Good work. Thanks for your comments on, "Demented Intent". Something is wrong with my 'comment features' where comments appear with the poem.

Frederic Parker July 20, 2017 at 10:46 AM I was going to chose scary but I was too frightened to...nice theme Andrea, glad you went with Hitchcock, not slasher movies... good luck

Daniel Turner July 20, 2017 at 7:12 AM Hitchcock movies are different. Classy! Slasher movies suck! I'll take a good western anytime. Cool sonnet, Andrea and a great topic:) Andrea Dietrich July 22, 2017 at 12:01 PM yes, I wholeheartedly agree. I hate movies that are purely about killing people off (though I really did like the first Destination movie). A few slasher films are ok as long as they have a truly well developed plot.

Tim Smith July 20, 2017 at 7:09 AM I get scared so if I grab on to you, you know why..lol...great write
