Terence, it takes a compassionate soul to write the kind of poetry that's coming from you. I have nothing but admiration and respect for human beings and poets/poetesses of your ilk.
This is praise difficult to live up too, but we live in an age and time of difficult issues, sometimes we need to write upon topics unpleasant, that need addressing; in a heartfelt way to do the seriousness of the topics justice.
Eric Cockrell writes "Compassion is one true path". I can not agree more, dear poet.
Eric Cockrell inspires many poets and many lives with his belief in people and a more beautiful world, I stop almost daily to read a few things Eric has written over my day his night.
2) I have not read any works by Eric Cockrell, but thanks to this insightful and inspiring tribute, I look forward to those readings. Outstanding work, Terence!
Eric Cockrell was one of those poet gems who enriched this site when active here back in 2011 and 2012. We shared poetic goals and ideals of peace and freedom.
