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.
I am a Proud Member of The Shameless Lions Writing Circle
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”

Ah, my Friend Eric. So good to see you on the Blog again. Hope all is well with you and you can join us on the Cats' Worlds' Forums sometime.

Hi, Eric. Is it springtime in Canada? I would love to visit this aquarium in person, and your video is the reason why.
Will do Steph :)

Eric:
It was so very good to see you at my blog... I knew it likely meant you had posted here, so I looked again. I am glad I did.
I am hoping that all is going smoothly with you and your family, and I am hopeful that you may now be able to return to blogging more regularly. I have missed your writings and poems.

Gosh one could watch that for hours. It is heartwarming that this aquarium at least was not affected by the tsunami.
So good to see your post Eric - look forward to more. :)
