Halloween Twenty-Thirteen
It was a dark and blustry night
on the Shores of Lake
Mendota,
in Madison, Wisconsin,and with the sparks flying from two
roaring fireplaces
under the Pavillion
at Burrows Park,
stalwart fans
braved the cold
to hear
the Live Bard
recite The Raven and other poems of the macabre.
