This haiku movie review, The Black Stallion, uses this brief format and relates that the story involves a strong willed boy and a one boy horse.

What a wonderful picture you chose to illustrate your writing. The Black ran accross the pages of my life as a child, I read every book over and over and fell in love.

I'm not familiar with the movie, but based on your review, it may be worth watching. Your poem is lovely, and so is the image you have chosen. The information in your Notes is helpful.

    Hi Mary Kay. Thanks so much for taking the time to review this entry. I appreciate that you haven't seen this film but chose to comment on my review of it. It is a beautiful film and I highly recommend it. You are the only one to mention my author notes which makes me happy. I wasn't going to add anything but then it dawned on me that maybe not everyone has seen this movie. lol I'm glad you liked this and I hope you have a great holiday. Thank you!

    Hi Lynda, I was able to catch the movie on one of my cable TV channels, and it was really great! Not only that, but it was one of the cleanest, most wholesome, family-oriented movies ever made (without being an actual cartoon). I don't have children (although I am married), yet I prefer wholesome movies of this kind. I also discovered its sequel, "The Black Stallion Returns," which had a great plot, suspense and incredible cinematography. Thank you so much! Wishing you many blessings in 2021.
    Love, Mary Kay xoxo

Determination, perseverance and strength of character are all indicated here. The art-work accompanying the haiku is right, the words are perfect. Best wishes for the contest.

Hello, anonymous,

Great entry for the Haiku Movie Review writing prompt contest. Good syllables count. I like the presentation too.

The black stallion is a good choice.

Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written movie haiku and summary of the essence of the black stallion that was the dream of a young boy to tame and ride in the back of the Arabian horse.

Awesome piece, author. I'm not going to lie, I never watched the whole movie but does anyone care? No, they don't. Great picture and have sixers to spare so today, you get one. Love the artwork and words. I'm sure the movie was awesome. If not, well, that's just too bad. Lol. Best of luck in the contest.

    Dear Mr. Skulls,

    I don't know what the hell I wrote about because I never saw this movie in the first place. lol No, it's an excellent movie and I recommend you see it all the way through. I thank you, sir, for the big sixer and interesting review. Now you just go and have yourself a wonderful Christmas, won't you? I really do appreciate all of this. Thank you.
