Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

 

Also, Fear The Walking Dead is a spinoff. IT"S GREAT (takes place in mexico)

 

The Walking Dead-A Sonnet Acrostic Tribute

There is an emptiness. You see no face.
Humanity. . . Wherever can it be?
Enveloped by strange silence is each place.

Whole towns have been abandoned! Finally,
A figure is approaching - a small child.
Look! Her mouth with something red seems wet.
Keep moving. This girl’s face is not so mild.
Inside a vacant house you need to get!
Now suddenly, more human forms appear.
Get far from them! They have no heart or soul.

Dead eyes will haunt your dreams. You’ll live in fear.
Eternal sickness has consumed them whole.
As twilight falls outside your door, they creep.
Do say a prayer to God, your soul to keep.

Daver Austin August 22, 2016 at 12:32 PM A very modern shortcoming, on display every day. How about Donald Trump? Love, daver

Tim Smith August 20, 2016 at 11:31 AM I have seen a couple seasons and it is a very well done show Andrea...I can see how one can become addicted...I never could coordinate my schedule with it's showing...I see it is on Netflix now...I will have to binge watch...another good one is American Horror Story

Casarah Nance August 20, 2016 at 8:10 AM creepy good poem, never seen the show though, but its popularity is to die for

Daniel Turner August 20, 2016 at 7:29 AM Not a fan of zombies but I am a fan of great poetry. An acrostic sonnet? Are you kidding me? Message received! I know Tom will be impressed. Super job, Andrea.

Connie Marcum Wong August 20, 2016 at 5:35 AM You really did this well Andrea. I bet this one is tops! : ) 7

Joanna Daniel August 20, 2016 at 3:36 AM A sonnet acrostic- Wow!! very well written:)

Lynn Marie August 19, 2016 at 11:35 PM Fantastic writing...so creatively penned in a Sonnet/Acrostic form..wow(i am still learning so this level of skill and talent amazes me..lol) A terrific tribute to a show that gained "cult" status...your words deftly giving very solid imagery to the theme and feel with a few "eerie" scenes, seamlessly tucked in.:-) Wonderfully written, 7+ my best to you in the contest. bundles of blessings, lynn

Arthur Vaso August 19, 2016 at 10:05 PM Even I have heard of it, not familiar with the walking dead (other than myself) but I loved this poem, I even took away a few other maybe unintended meanings! Hugs!

Billy Thekidster August 19, 2016 at 9:29 PM Great tribute to a recent cult classic. Good Luck with the contest.
