I agree with you that this was an excellent film, definitely a rollercoaster of emotion. Your enthusiasm for it shines through in your review/poem. A good film draws in the viewer; your poem drew in this reader. (I see you are leading the contest voting. I hope you win.)

I loved the movie and your rendition of it was wonderful. You brought the movie alive so much so that I feel I need to see it again. You truly have a way with words and I want to read more of your work.

I agree with you fully! I thought it was a wonderful movie although very very sad. You have managed well to get the essence of it into verse, and to encourage others to watch it. Very well done.

While reading the entries in the booth I came upon this entry. I have to say so far out of six I've read this is the best. Good rhyme, form and presentation.

Well done.

Dear Mystery Poet,

My hubby and I have seen this movie, and we really liked it, too. I bet we have seen it three or four times. That may not sound like much, compared to your record, but for us, that is a pretty big deal. Haha

Your poem was fun. It explains the plot of the movie nicely, and some of those rhyming pairs were truly clever. Super job on those.

Just one small note:
--> a mov(i)e called "The Shawshank Redemption".

Thanks and good luck!!

This is a great poem to commemorate a true classic. Shawshank continues to inspire storytellers and new audiences and is an excellent choice. I think you did a great job with the narrative while still endorsing a recommendation for a watch. Well done - thanks for sharing.

Hello, Anonymous,

Excellent entry for the Movie Magic writing prompt contest.

I love the Shawshank Redemption, written by my favorite author, Stephen King.

A well written poem about one of my favourite movies. Unfortunately it was up against some stiff competition when it came time for the Oscars.
Thanks you for sharing. Good luck in the contest.
