#NationalPoetryDay II

Ode to William Shakespeare.  One of my favorite authors, poets, and creators. Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,     So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,     So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Ode to national poetry day. I have a few poets who I really like and who inspired me.  Lord Alfred Tennyson 'Ulysses'. It little profits that an idle king,  By this still hearth, among these barren crags,  Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole  Unequal laws unto a savage race,  That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.  I cannot rest from travel: I will drink  Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd  Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those  That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when  Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades  Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;  For always roaming with a hungry heart  Much have I seen and known; cities of men  And manners, climates, councils, governments,  Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;  And drunk delight of battle with my peers,  Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.  I am a part of all that I have met;  Yet all experience is an

Excerpt from the notebook of Rodney Fenwick

Thor Koneg having witnessed the fall, led his people to . When Tzeug rose from the river, Thor challenged him. The greatest warrior of his people, Thor slew Tzeug in an epic battle.

History Lesson from the notebooks of Rodney Fenwick

The Great War of 1914 lasted five years, and was dubbed the war to end all wars. Weapons of destruction grew to include airplanes and bigger bombs. Death toll was 15 million. It cost 9 Billion dollars worldwide. The politics of the world led to the creation of the League of Nation in 1919. It was designed to be a political entity that would govern the world to prevent wars in the future. Unfortunately, each country that was part of the League had their own agenda's. France, America, Russia, Japan, China, England, Holland, and Switzerland were all part of it. World banking was the real birth of capitalism, which started with the founding of the BIS, Bank for International Settlement. In 1920 the World Bank was established by the BIS. Gold, silver, steel, oil, rice, grains, beef and energy were sold as commodities and used as the standard form of financial stability. Land owners became very wealthy as a result of 'mineral rights' on the land they owned. Commodity brokers

Book One 'The Fenwick Cipher'

This is the first Chapter of the novel. I am trying to get some interest generated so I can get it published.                                                  PROLOGUE "Tamam Shud" December 1st 1948 1:20 AM Somerton Beach, Australia For the man wearing the coat and tie, the warm night air was uncomfortable. He wished the circumstances could have been different. He thought about the job he should have never   taken. Too late now, though, this was the only solution, he was sure. The plant venom was the most deadly toxin known to man, and he had just 6 minutes left to live. He threw his beer can in the trash, and made his way to the beach. The pasty he had eaten in Glengelg would slow the poison enough. Diluting it with the beer would mask it in in an autopsy. His reasons for doing it were many, and the truth would come out eventually. He had seen to that. As the man made his way to the seawall, and the poison
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamam_Shud_case This unbreakable code is linked to the "Somerton man" In my historical fiction novel, I am making the case for my identification of this man. I hope the DNA evidence proves his identity to be that of a German orphan displaced during the First World War. Hopefully I will have the novel out before this year ends
