Abre la Puerta
by Emilio D. Puerta

If you like trekking far and wide To see what wonder places hide; If you like when ecology Joins forces with philosophy; If you like tongues that foreign be; If you like vivid artistry That takes you to the olden ages And jumps out from the bounded pages; If you like tales of bravery Or possibly of knavery; If you like reaching higher heights; If you like fighting for your rights; If you like love and mystery (And hints about my history) That all are done through poetry With wit and sometimes comedy– Then, pray, dear reader, take my hand, And step inside my wondrous land.
