Andrea Dietrich Poet Triolet

At Eden's Lake

(Written after seeing a scary movie late last Friday night. 
 I think it was actually called "Lake Eden"  but I changed 
the title for sake of meter) the actors drove on left side of
the road but it didn't seem to be England! Does anyone 
know of this movie?)

Take care if you should visit Eden’s Lake,
for Paradise can be a living hell.
Cruel bullies lurk there worse than any snake!
Take care if you should visit Eden’s Lake.
Events there made a strong man shriek and shake,
and if they talked, the trees alone would tell. . .
Take care if you should visit Eden’s Lake.
For Paradise can be a living hell.

Harry Horsman November 30, 2012 at 9:36 AM again a different slant on your poetry Andrea, yet still a joy to read....

Daver Austin January 16, 2011 at 8:09 AM Oh, charming write! I'll have to look up the Triolet, though I doubt I could equal your wild fantasies. Eden Lake? Isn't that where the nice old Charon has his boat and his three-headed dawgs. I can just hear that there apple drop - KERPLUNCK! You be so deliciously evil. Love, Dave

Wilma Neels January 16, 2011 at 7:23 AM This is quite intriguing Andrea, we drive on the left side in SA as well, but I have not seen this movie.. You sure painted a vivid picture with your words.. love Wilma

Kris Walters January 14, 2011 at 4:31 PM Hiya Andrea!! Yes, been an age! Nice to ready you again! Ooooh, creepy! I haven't seen the movie but sounds pretty scary! Beautifully done triolet! hugs, kris

Carolyn Devonshire January 14, 2011 at 2:18 PM Haven't seen this movie, nor do I know where Eden's Lake is, Andrea, but from your description it sounds like one I'd like to see. I love man versus nature themes in movies. Now Lake Placid was a scary movie too, and Betty White was such a riot in that one. Love, Carolyn

Dr.Ram Mehta January 14, 2011 at 9:32 AM There is neither a hell nor heaven, but a purgatory. Nice creative picture presenbted in the movie. Andrea

Phyllis Babcock January 14, 2011 at 9:28 AM If this is a horror movie you can bet your boots I will not have seen it. Sounds like the paradise turned to a living hell. I don't think I even want to know what happened. Chicken me. ha ha ha Good luck on the contest. Love Phyl
