Thought to have a light hearted change. This is my Haiku. More of my poetry not on my site.
Perched on the tip
Of a. motionless pen-
An unwritten word
Standing in,
A state of undress-
Fall trees.
Closed my eyes
Memories invade-
A silent tear falls.
Blades of grass
Often I think of you-
On a cold Winters night.
September 11..
A Tragedy - Forever Etched-
Into the Fabric - Of Time.
Snared, in the petals of a Long Dried Rose
A Tear …. A Memory-
Of a Moment in Time.
North Star Brilliant, in a Blue night Sky
There you stand-
On the threshold of a Dream.
Light shards, pierce.
The early morning Night-
Another Day – A New Tomorrow.

About Me
- Eric Valentine
- I have been a bit of a World traveler. I was born in England and at age 32 moved to Canada. More recently this last few years I have come down with a debilitating illness that although it has no cure it can be managed sensibly. My interests now are my lovely wife Elizabeth, nature and music. I love writing at which I am always working on improving.

Sangilak
He burst forth from the past to now
Fiercely proud, strong, erect.
His torso adorned and glowing still,
Remnants of the days of battle royal,
The figures, depicting scars from days of old.
I first saw him standing there -
Covered it seemed in a hue of snow?
On his chest emblazoned in red,
“Is that a red maple leaf I see,
Or some such facsimile ?”
I said astounded! ~ hesitantly, ~
“You are Canadian ~ aren’t you”
