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”

Yes, it is important "to be there". Eric, I hope you are well and enjoying the changing season. We had summer a week ago and now autumn has got us firmly in its grip.
More poems, please, Eric.
Very nice, Eric.
Hope you are well!
Margie :)
