Notes About The Poem

Writing Challenge - M words - Poetry Contest, Sponsor -Constance La France. Date: 07/22/2023

Movies

Movies are entertaining.
                  Movies have different genres.
                      Genres such as Western.
                          Genres like Comedy.
                          Comedy and Satire.
                      Comedy is hilarious fun! 
                           Fun and rip roaring!
                     Fun is absent in tragedies. 
                        Tragedies are very sad.
                   Tragedies bleed into drama.
                      Drama is, well, dramatic!
                     Drama offers great acting.
              Acting is minimal in action movies.
                  Acting, not at all bad in Horror.
              Horror movies give occasional jolt!
                  Horror is filled with suspense.
                 Suspense thrillers, my favorite!
                      Suspense is also in sci-fi.
                          Sci-fi is a cool genre.
          Sci-fi film, "Aliens," one of the classics! 
                 Classics giant, "The Godfather" 
                Classics stand the test of time! 
                      Time to pop some corn!
                   Time to head to the movies!
                     Movies put worries at bay.
                       Movies provide escape.
                       Escape from ourselves.
                           Escape from reality.
                          Reality can be harsh.
                                 Reality bites.
                   Bites like the shark in "Jaws" 
               Bites like the St. Bernard in "Cujo" 
                    "Cujo" was one rabid terror!
                  "Cujo" was a crazy, scary dog!
                Dog is usually man's best friend.
             Dog ruled a Channing Tatum movie. 
                         Movie was quite good! 
                 Movie that pet owners will love! 
                             Love conquers all.
                Love is passionate in "rom-coms" 
            "Rom-coms" appeal more to women.
                 "Rom-coms" aka "chick flicks" 
             "Chick flicks" were a rage in the 90s.
"Chick flicks" queen: "Pretty Woman" Julia Roberts.
      Roberts was dubbed "America's sweetheart"
           Roberts shared crown with Meg Ryan.
                Ryan was Robert's serious rival.
                  Ryan eventually disappeared...
                               Disappeared!
                                      Rival.

So true, Edward - movies equal entertainment, often of the most varied, high spirited kind. I just caught the latest Tom Cruise flick. I enjoyed your posting. Congratulations on your high placement in the contest! Best wishes, Brian

In the old days in Winter one had to brave the cold to go to see a movie or wait til Sunday night for a good movie to be on TV. Now we can watch a movie when ever we feel like it with all our online connections. Movies to me are like a 90 minute get-a-way. Loved your poem Edward Thank You.

Thank you very much, SV:-) Times have changed, my friend. I stream movies far more than I actually go to the theaters nowadays!

Your Navy picture always reminds me of a favorite friend. Enjoyed your blitzing through the movies! We enjoy movies here too! Funny, my dad thinks Julia Roberts is a terrible actress. My husband loves Meg Ryan. I miss the chick flicks. Have a great Sunday, my friend!

Thanks for dropping by, Kim:-) You dad is tough on Julia, lol. Robert is no great actress, but I think she's evolved into a good one over the years. I find her a better actress than Meg Ryan, though I like and miss Ryan. Have a great Sunday as well, my friend.
