I also love watching movies. Those godfather movies were simply wonderful, as is your poem. It's very relatable and everyone has heard about the offer which can't be refused.

This is an excellent poem for this contest. I am a fan of God for the movies too even though I don't like gory things believe it or not. The presentation is perfect and the words are just perfect too this is really excellent and thank you for sharing it. I enjoyed reviewing this.

Best wishes,

Alex

This ABC poem, The Godfather, has the proper formatting and covers parts of the film and the theme of family over all that the story wants to suggest.

I was really little when I saw this. It was playing at a drive in theater. My parents thought I was asleep in the back seat. I wasn't, but I wasn't really paying attention to the movie. But my mom started making a big deal about some scene coming up that she didn't want to see...so of course that got my attention and I watched. So my total knowledge of the movie is that horse head. So it's funny you highlighted the one thing I know!
Good classic movie choice and informative ABC (I know more about it now...)

An excellent entry for the ABC at the Movies contest. You took this challenge and said, "I'll show you!" Great job. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.

I enjoyed reading your poem. Western movies for me were always boring. It was nice the way you went through the different types of movies. Your poem is well written. Good luck with the contest.

Wow, thank you so much. you have gone from a poem that did not comply to one I think might win. I really like this writing and the choice of film is very clever a classic. Good Luck.

    Oops! I did read the rules the first time & decided not to enter. This is what comes of reviewing ABC poems in other areas, then composing in my mind before re-reviewing the rules. Live and learn! Thanks for the review though!

    I recommend you change it drastically and reuse the original at a later date, I am not sure if you can alter the title but I would try it. Set up your own contest it only costs $3FS.

...and I'm in awe that you managed to rhyme while running through the whole alphabet! This is above and beyond what the contests demands. Very well done.

This is a fun piece. I wonder what the instructions for the contest were. Was it poetry or a story? It is interesting that you chose titles from a long time ago- eg Gone With the Wind. I noticed a creative way of dealing with X and Z.

    Thanks so much--it's an ABC poem about movies. I love all movies, but some of the oldies are the best & bring back good memories.
