Don't Make a Sound

by Betty Jo Tucker — Read all 96 poems by Betty Jo Tucker


The poem below came to me one sleep-interrupted night after watching A Quiet Place, the scariest movie of 2018.



Friday, October 19, 2018


Poem Artwork

 

A QUIET PLACE haunts dreams at night.

This horror film revels in fright.

Making a sound brings creatures near.

They quickly swoop and kill you, dear.

 

A family tries to survive.

Will one of them still stay alive?

The mother, children, and the dad

face terrors that are beyond sad.

 

For chills and thrills in scary scenes,

A QUIET PLACE boasts all these things.

While faint of heart should be afraid,

horror fans will be glad they paid.

Horror films these days seem to rely on shock value, taking after Stephen King and The Shining. So, the creatures have to be horrific and lightning fast, making them impossible to defeat.

From your review, I hope that this one is different. I might even watch it.

Strange, but while reading your review and thinking about it, Wait Until Dark came to mind. I recall some scenes in that movie that had us jumping in our theater seats.

You're right. That movie was uniquely creepy for us. Emily Blunt was great though. Good poem, Betty. Peace... r
