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”

Beautiful pictures of the snow, Eric.
It's snowing here today and very cold!
Take care, be well.
I wish we had snow. It's just been TOO warm. Yesterday we saw some forsythia trying to bloom and our daffodils are coming up. These are probably signs is of global warming, and it worries me.
Thank you Margie, they are pretty decent aren't they. I like the contrast that is had with the trees and the snow... :)
Hope you get enough snow to meet your needs for skiing :))
Take care my friend. :)
I can imagine it is pretty perplexing when flowers start to sprout Forsythia although we do love flowers no matter the time of year :)
Take care. :)
