Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is a very good review/description of The Sound of Music, with all of its lovely songs, and implications, for hopefulness, in the face of just the opposite, in most other's eyes. The last line, "over living hills," speaks of the power, and reverence, of nature, and how it can heal, and is actually "alive, with the sound of music." The picturesque view of the hills in Austria was just the ticket. Thanks for this enjoyable read.

Thank you for your review, which is absolutely beautiful, and for the five stars. I appreciate your lovely comments. I think what we need today is that very hopefulness in the face of darkness. May God bless you and your family and keep you safe at Christmas and throughout the New Year.

Hello, Mary Kay.
I am glad you liked my review, and I agree, that what the world needs is hopefulness in this current trend of darkness. Merry Christmas to you, and I hope all your dreams come true in 2021!

Thank you so much, Amada, for your excellent and perceptive review of my poem. I agree that "the Sound of Music" is a wonderful picture for people of all ages. I saw it many times as a young girl, and if I had children, I would certainly want them to see it too! It is a timeless classic. Thank you for your kind wishes. May God bless you and keep you safe during these holidays and into the future.

I don't know many movies, but I am glad that I know the one you are describing. You provided just the most telling facts. Pretty photo as the hills are alive. Nicely done.

This thought made me think about The Sound of Music, trapping me in its remembrance, delighting my soul at the probable of such a living reality. The experience alone was a pleasing delight for me holding my interests.

Thank you very much, TPAC, for your lovely and excellent review, and for the five stars. Considering the scenario of the movie also makes me imagine being there myself, skipping over those green hills, under blue skies, and singing with the others! (Even though I'm not skipping anywhere these days, one can always imagine.) I appreciate your comments very much. May God bless you, and give you and your family a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

Hello, anonymous,
Great entry for the Haiku Movie Review writing prompt contest. Good syllables count. I like the presentation too.
The sound of music is a good choice.
Good luck in the contest.

I love the picture you choose it goes so well with your haiku:"Pretty governess --
Seven children sing along,
Over living hills." Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas. P.S. You got my vote.:)

I love the fact that you describe "The Sound of Music," without actually stating it. The syllable count is correct for this contest. Happy holidays and best wishes for the New Year.

Thank you for your excellent review and for the five stars. I'm glad you like my choice not to name the movie; most people seem to, but some feel I should. What can I do? I will leave it as it is, for now. You have a lovely profile picture. Wishing you blessings during the holidays and throughout the New Year; may God keep you safe.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this wonderful commentary on a great movie. Line 3 is a creative reference to "The hills are alive with the sound of music"!
