Rip Eric Dickey

Died so young at the age of only fifty nine  
His literary works will be his eternal shrine
Suspense and mystery on every written page
African-Americans took the centre stage 

Thirty novels the talented Eric Dickey wrote
When it comes to writing he gets my vote
Milk in my coffee and Cheaters to name but two
Check out his work that's what I ask of you 

A storyteller extraordinaire is high praise indeed
His books my friend are well worth a read 
Being laid off from work a blessing in disguise 
RIP Eric Dickey one of literatures good guys
