Eldon Cook Poems

Nowhere
Pacing in a circle
Trying to find meaning
In the emptiness of my soul
...

Sometimes a man is a valiant fighter, though he’s never seen a foe,
A doting husband and a wonderful father, whom his family doesn’t know,

Sometimes a man is a listening ear, a caring, compassionate friend,
...

Walls of steel, bricks and stone
Inside cold, dark, scared, alone
Darts of fire, wrath, hatred, stones
Weep, scream, wail, moan
...
