I'm not usually asked which are my favorite poems in "Across the Long Bridge", because it's generally assumed that First Prize winners like Osmond Benoliel's "Love's Labor Found" and "Does Anyone Know I'm Here?" by Daniel E. Speers would of necessity be my favorite poem in this Anthology of winning and commended entries from The Tom Howard Poetry Contest and The Margaret Reid Prize for Traditional Verse. But that is actually not the case at all. My favorite poem in this collection is "The Window" by Marie Delgado Travis, which won Second Prize in the Tom Howard Contest. This poem has a feeling, an atmosphere, a hankering goodbye to the past with which I can readily sympathize. One of my contributions to the anthology, "Regrets" has something of the same mood. While I cannot post "The Window" here (it is not mine to post as the copyright remains with Marie Delgado Travis), I can post "Regrets":
