    Poem Commentary

    To Kendra and Samara I always knew when you were out of bed Love you Always

    Footsteps in the Hall

     No carpet on the stairs.
    Floors polished and bare
    Aren't you suppose to be
    in bed?
    Dreaming dreams of Angels
    instead of
    Listening to your footsteps in the hall.
    Peeking through the railing
    Listening to TV from down below
    Hoping Mommy won't notice
    Your little tiny toes or
    Your footsteps in the hall.
    To sleepy to make it back to bed
    So you rest your tiny head
    Leaning back on the hallway wall
    Good night my little footsteps in the hall

    Nice. Can tell you like being a mom. Can almost hear the tiptoes.

    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.
