‘Are You Prepared for All Hallows’ Eve?’ by Kevin Hayes

Are You Prepared for All Hallows’ Eve?

All Hallow’s Eve will soon be here—
A time when our two worlds come near.
They roam our world for just one night—
And you may fear until it’s light.

    Perfect quatrain, Kevin, with each line contributing a new and profound idea to the whole. The last line seems “light,” but keeps up the mystery by its seemingly trivial permission to fear.

  3. Margaret Coats on ‘Persona’: A Sonnet by Norman L. HillsOctober 7, 2025

    Norman, I very much like the concept of your sonnet, moving from classical masks to the rough equivalent in cyberreality.…

  4. Roy Eugene Peterson on ‘Persona’: A Sonnet by Norman L. HillsOctober 7, 2025

    Norman, I like your rhymes, particularly the ending with "odious" and "Janus." Your subject and message are well thought out…
