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”

Thank you Forsythia, it was something different to try...It does have an eerie effect about it which makes it likable. :)
Happy New Year to you also.. :)
Both these photos are elegantly done.
Hello mythmaker, thank you very much for your compliment.. It was indeed a surprise to see you visit, do call again. :)
Artistic shot, one would think it was a charcoal drawing. Happy New Year, Eric!
The pictures are awesome, Eric.
Wonderful capture of a foggy nite!

Stephanie, it's funny you should say that Elizabeth thought the same thing.. Thanks for the visit again.. :)
