A Promise: Poems

By Douglas W. Anderson

Poetry / English with Spanish translation. Reflection helps a poet's art. Passage of time clarifies life within, out of which emotion finds a route through the maze of trauma in the brain. These poems have several different forms, and to the discerning eye, some may dismiss them as an amateur trying his best. All poets and writers are amateurs. Our venture in life is a path we travel along only once. There are no second chances, only those chances we deem valuable at the moment to catch, polish, and offer the world a glimpse of what we thought and happened. There is nothing wrong with offering up to the altar, for everyone to see, that you believe someone special will always be, in the words of Keats, "The Halo of my memory."
