Through evocative verses such as \"Wild Strawberry Blossom,\" \"The Woman in the Forest,\" and \"Poseidon's View at Percé,\" the author captures fleeting moments and landscapes with a sense of wonder and introspective depth. The collection serves as both an observation of the natural world and a personal meditation on life, history, and the emotional resonance found in everyday surroundings. With a focus on the Canadian landscape and societal reflections, the book offers readers a thoughtful examination of place, belonging, and the quiet beauty of the present moment. This work invites engagement with the philosophical and sensory aspects of the world, providing a unique lens through which to view both the environment and the self in a contemporary context.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/poems-for-now/417655/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/poems-for-now/417655.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Marglet","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-28",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":39},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"To whom does Britta Elmberg dedicate her book?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The author dedicates the book to her children: George, Ransome, Julia, and Bryce.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is the central imagery in the poem 'Wild Strawberry Blossom'?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The poem features a flower with five white petals and a greenish orb, growing near a stony path under a cool spring sky.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What themes are explored in 'Poseidon's View at Percé'?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"The poem explores the natural beauty of the Gaspé region, referencing the St. Lawrence River, marine wildlife, and the metaphorical idea of a portal that allows one to wash away sorrows and view the world with clarity.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},417655,1790716879,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":14,"category_name":15,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":39,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":36,"language":139,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":143,"read_time":144},2336477982702,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc","Poems For NowBy Brita Eimberg  \nPhoto:Bolton Mill Park,September 2013(by Britta Elmberg)  \n# Poems for Now\n\nTable of Contents  \nDedication Page  \npage 5  \nWild Strawberry Blossompage 6The Woman in the Forestpage 7Poseidon's View at Percépage 8The Men Who Build the Roadspage 9A Bee Aboutpage 10The Donellyspage 11Homelessnesspage 14What Would Bobby Fisher Want?page 15To the Person on Edvard's Bridgepage 17Mr.Malice  \npage 19  \nF.L.Q.in Schoolpage 21Expo 67page 23At the War Memorialpage 25Canadian Shieldpage 26Cold War Chess Kingspage 27Notes about the poemspage 29List of Works Consultedpage 30Bio Notespage 33  \n# Dedication Page\n\nI wish to dedicate this book to all my children:  \nGeorge,my eldest,Ransome,who has passed on,Julia,my only daughter,and Bryce,my youngest.  \nHow lucky you are to have been born in Canada!Always keep sight of your home and remember whoyou are.  \n# Wild Strawberry Blossom\n\nAbiding nearA stony path,Five tiny petalsPurely white;Greenish orbLooking up  \nTo the cool spring skyWith a wistful promiseOf a simple summertime treat.  \n# The Woman in the Forest\n\nGreen light filters through the forest canopyAs a woman walks towards me;She seems about to embrace meWith vivid,robust arms;She is not my mother,  \nBut something about her is familiar:Should she reach out,All wordless questionsWill at once be answered,All sorrows become quietAnd I will dissolve in the forest.  \n# Poseidon's View at Percé\n\nAlong St.Lawrence RiverUnder the Gaspé sun,With gannets diving,Scouting afore,Whales abounding,A seal aside,What porpoise attends this vessel?
