Hallow Eve

I wrote this one when my kids were little and still enjoyed trick-or-treating. I know it is kind of short, but it says what I wanted to convey.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
