Drive in movies, Rictameter poetry
My favorite movie
Drive In
Place to cuddle
Watch old classic movies
Gone with the wind, epic delight
Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, Mammy
Tara, cotton plantation, home
Scarlett's place of refuge
Slavery, war
Drive In.
I saw on the evening news that the drive in movie's are coming back, Oh Joy!

Hello Audrey, HaHa, fogged up widshield, Whatever do you mean? HaHa..So happy it brought back good memories. Thank you my friend..Cheers..
Oh Ruby - How amazing your poem is along with the spectacular well chosen photos. Oh, yes! The memories...the fogged up windshield ( uh-hum ).
I loved those days. I can't believe how few movies I really saw at the drive-in movies :):) UP and across and sharing!

Hello Cogerson, I'm sorry you missed seeing a movie at the drive-in, but thankfully they are coming back. I love movies too, they have been a big part of my life since childhood, Thank you for the awesome comment..Cheers..
Excellent rictameter poem on drive-ins and Gone With The Wind. It would be really cool if drive-ins were coming back. I always wanted to but never got the chance to see a movie at a drive-in. There was one down by house many years ago...but my dad would never take me.....and when I was old enough to drive myself it had been closed for many years. A short but sweet poem about my favorite subject...movies...voted up and awesome.

Oh my goodness, what a terrible time you had. I lived in a really small town when i went to drive ins. Everyone knew each other. We would all park together..Aha, the good old day's. Good to see you again..Cheers.
I like watching movies at a drive-in. Twice, we went to a drive-in around wintertime away from the city and my friend's car ran out of battery. All the other cars had dispersed and we were all left alone. The Diner too was closed before the movie had even ended. It was very dark (imagine the movie Children of the Corn, that kind of place). The kids were already cold inside the car and my toes were freezing for we waited too long for a car boost. I'd be scared again to go for drive-in movies far from the city!
Pretty poetry! Love it.

Hello Alastar Packer, Nice to see you. I agree, " Those were the days alright. " I have many happy memories of good times at our local drive-in. I am tickled pink they are returning. Thank you so much for sharing your story of owning drive-ins,,Cheers
Beautiful poem. Love to be in drive inns.
Really liked this, Ruby. In so many words you brought that good time Drive-in feelin' to the fore. Once was friends and partnered up with two veteran showmen who owned a number of Drive-ins. Those were the days alright.

You're just a youngn'!! I think you would love a drive in. I did. You don't have to dress up, you pay by the car, not the people. We used to cram so many kids in the car, wonder they didn't suffocate. Hee. Thank you for coming by..Cheers
I wasn't hatched until 1983:) Never been to one or seen one before. I like the entire idea behind it though. Since they are so scarce, I bet one would do good where ever it is put.

....now we all know Ruby that George Jones just wants to take you to the drive in picture show so he can write a love song about it - the greatest love song that he ever wrote - that's for dang sure!
I just posted your Hub profile page to the Hubpages Facebook group - to let more people know how wonderful you are ..... lake erie time 11:12pm
That is cool to do too, Ruby.
Beautiful rictameter. Lovely video ~ Tara's Theme. Love it love it love it! You mean drive-in's are coming back? Down here they've died a natural death since TV, large screens and all-round sound. Or are they only bringing back the movies to be watched on TV?
Oh my, in my days drive-ins were the in-thing. The dating mecca. The venue for weekly family-outings..... Have so many memories concerning drive-ins!

Hello Bobbi, I can remember when we had the best time at the drive in, meeting friends, enjoying a movie like Cuckoo's nest. They don't make that kind of movies anymore, or am i just getting old? Ha..Thank you..

Hello Cardisa, I think you would love drive ins. It was a happy time. Friends parked beside you and it was a fun time..Cheers
Love your poem ruby, we never had drive in movies, so not fair! lol! we only get to see them on American films!
Brilliant just as I remembered Ruby ; great work and enjoy your day.
Eddy.
Oh, I hope that you're right! I loved going to the drive-in!
Ruby, this was awesome! I never had the chance too go to one. It would be awesome though, glad they are making a comeback. As much as people like the drive thru, you would think they would like the movie drive in just as much. Great job, very clever.
I've always wanted to go to a drive-in - I wish we had them in the UK!
Great poem and voted up!
Before we moved here, a couple years ago, the drive-in was two houses down the highway. Cars lined up for a long way some nights. I love the drive-in, cheaper and a lot of fun. Great poem.
"I'll never go hungry again..."
Pass me a cheese Danish, girlfriend! Voted UP and AB. Hugs, Maria
I remember drive-ins as a kid, and we have one in the college town I live in now. They're so cool. I should go more often. Love your poem. Very nostalgic!
Those were the days, Ruby, when family entertainment was the rage.
Now drug dealers and contract killers take front and center stage.
I long for the drive-in movie theaters now so seldom seen,
With Clark Gable's handsome face on a 40-foot wide screen.
What a clever poem, Ruby. How fun to know that drive-ins are making a comeback. :-)
This fun poem makes me nostalgic for the old days. Drive in movies were the greatest of fun with the whole family. Up on top of the station wagon with a pillow and blanket was the best seat in the house, outside. Yumm. Let's all go to the snack bar...and get ourselves a Coke!
We had one drive inn in Jamaica and by the time I was old enough to go it closed. I always wondered how it felt to go there. I see drive inns a lot in the movies.

Hello TT, I have that fear of the West Nile virus too, one man died here last week, funny, we didn't have that to worry about when i was enjoying the Drive Inn. Thank's for stopping by..Cheers

Hello Mike, I am sure they won't build one in my little town but maybe in Evansville, In. which is close. I love doing Rictameter poetry even though the syllable count can get difficult. Thank's for coming by..Cheers
Nicely done, and bringing back memories for so many! I have been to a drive-in movies twice as a little girl....
Voting up and beautiful!
Very nice rictameter, awesome

Hello Joyce, Thank you for voting up and beautiful. Always happy to see you on my page..Cheers
Hopefully they will come back, So I can live my parents dream. Howe many baby boomers were born in a car? " Stranded at the drive Inn... what will they say Monday at school..!" Neat poetry! "Certainly my darling I will give a damn!"

Hello Billy, Lucky you. We don't have one but hopefully we will soon. I think it's a great idea. Thank's for dropping by..Cheers
- Author
Hello acaetnna, Thank you. I'm so glad you liked the video. You always make me smile with your sweet comments..Cheers
One of my favourite movies Ruby. An exciting rictameter.
Wonder if they'll come back here too
That totally rocks, Ruby. They still have those kind of theaters around. Of course, they are scattered in some towns and cities. HAH-HAH!
I saw that on the news, too and thought YAY! We took in a couple of drive in movies while we lived in Florida...my son loved it! There's one here, but it's about 80 miles away. If West Nile wasn't so bad this year, we'd consider it. Great poem, very well done! :)
Always, what a nice way to complete the challenge of a Rictameter. The news that they are bringing back the drive in is great.

Hello Susan, You are so lucky. There's not any around me, hopefully someone will see ths need and build one. I am glad you enjoyed. Thank you..
Inspiring Rictameter poem.
Voted up and beautiful, Joyce.
We have one fifteen minutes from us...double feature for seven bucks...is that a great deal or what?
Loved it; great haiku my friend.
Brilliant and Tara's theme is simply perfect. I loved it as always!
I went to drive-ins now and then as a child. It was fun -- glad they're making a comeback!
We have a drive-inn about a twenty minute drive away from us. Normally we go quite often in the summer, but for some reason this year we haven't. Must do this before the snow flies.
Enjoyed your rictameter poem.
