POEMS

The short Poems at the introduction of each novel (listed below) were written to express the feelings that relate to the story theme.

THE CRYPTIC EMBLEM

While The Candle Light Gleams

And the Glows Hidden by Beams

The Cryptic Listicles Were Seen

In Beneath the Shadowed Screen


...Robert Bartlett (2023)

POOL OF INTRIGUE

Elusive and Masterly Masqueraders

Skilfully Masking their Manipulations

Leading Others into a State of Perplexity

While Secretly Plotting Acts of Perversity

…Robert Bartlett (2021)

COVERT STRATEGY

Wielding Covert Strategies and Nerve

Subversive Ones Conspire and Merge

There to Distract, Deceive and Delude

Provoking Many to Endure Inquietude

…Robert Bartlett (2019)

THE CALLOUS CHARADE

Faceless grey-hats contriving

Fashioning, forging ‘n striving

Making callous charades beguiling

….Robert Bartlett (2017)

CLANDESTINE MISSIONS

Using false facades to misperceive

Clandestine cells conspire to deceive

Hatching plots of intrigue to mislead

While masking many illicit misdeeds

…..Robert Bartlett (2015)

PUPPETEERS AND PROVOCATEURS

Once again a trumpet sounds of peace

Alas, before its echo ends, another heralds in,

A call to war with its cataclysmic din

Robert Bartlett (2010)
