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

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.

Ha-ha, strange that I’m reading this as last week my boyfriend wrote redrum on the floor of our shower. We recently got a new roommate so we told him to pay no attention to the redrum on the floor….he just laughed and said “ok”. I’ve never seen the movie as well there’s not many horror flicks I like, as they bore me and I hate it when there’s no point to a movie. But back to your poem I LOVE it so dark and it reds wonderfully.

[Rob Santana]

Haha that's funny. Gracias Luna malvada.

Steven King eh? My favourite author is Anne Rice..but it's not her Vampire series I love.

The Shining...would you believe I've never read one of his books? I've watched all of his movies accept this one and Red Rose....I can't get into it...not sure why.

But on a more serious note..your poem is rock stellar. :D

[Rob Santana]

I hear you. We all can't like the same thing. The same thing goes for music. I can listen to just about anything except .....country music. To comical for me. Thank you for stopping by Muse.
