Product Description
by D. D. R. Staines (Author)
Where I Walk Now is a collection of poems by D.D.R.Staines, a retired sales executive from Cambridge, Ontario, written between 1993 and 2023.
The panel of judges selecting Staines' poetry for first place honors in the Cambridge Writers Collective Writers Undercover, Vol 1, described his poems as being "distinguished by their precise and original imagery and sophisticated use of language."
Elements of Nature such as water, air, fire, stone, sunlight, snow will lift readers out of their world and into another.
This is classic poetry, pure and true; it is written from the heart over the course of decades, drawn from the experiences of a seasoned life-traveller, crafted in a style that has nuance and meaning. In these poems the author shares his despair about his own deceitfulness; his wonder at new-found love; and finally, his thoughts on the meaning of it all.
"Out there somewhere
On the wings of a hornet,
On the petals of an orchid,
On the chance it may be found,
Lies the truth."
