The book Whispers is the result of a two-year journey both of us enjoyed and enhanced our lives with many exciting experiences. We wrote our poems individually and independent of each other with the goal to intermingle them and let the differences in style and topic become similarities and vice versa, thus creating our Poetic Symbiosis. This book is proof of what poets can achieve in mind and spirit no matter the physical distance. The result is an extraordinary collection of individual poems that all blend together, from Inceptions to Ineluctability and any stage in between. Poetry is a very personal reflection of thoughts, emotions and feelings. It shares with others how we feel, think and express ourselves. To be able to achieve such between two poets from miles away and yet be able to incorporate individual emotions in one single book is truly amazing. Our souls, emotions and feelings are clearly embedded in our poetry. What is more important is that you, as the reader, find your meanings in your own time and space. May all of you not only find the power and meaning of poetry, but may you also experience the journey this book represents and everything that is possible. May our inspirations give rise to your colors. And may our Whispers forever give rise to your new inspirations.

Bush's 7th Year Civil War in Iraq "Stay the Course Surge' Dirge" describes the ongoing sellout of U. S. sovereignty by Bush and his one-world cohorts. As an alleged "fiscal conservative" conservative, he is completely irresponsible with the largest federal budgets and national debt in history. With respect to his policy of pre-emptive war, sectarian warfare between the Sunnis and Shiites continues. A "shared" government among Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites and militarily imposed democracy is pure fantasy The idea of a lean, mean military machine has proved in- adequate with a surge in troops required that Gen. Shinsecki initially requested at the start of the war in Iraq. Training of Iraqis providing for their security is progressing at a snail's pace. Immigration and trade continue with borderless control and futile attempts at "delayed amnesty" legislation continue with trade deficits passing the $700 billion mark and climbing. Foreign policy is a joke with little of significance achieved. Nevertheless, Bush continues with his one-world sellout of the U. S. with his active pursuit of the Security, Prosperity and Partnership and the North American Union integration of the

The Battle of Hastings, fought in A.D. 1066, was, without question, the most important event in British history. The conquering of England by William, Duke of Normandy, changed the way the inhabitants of the "Isle of Mist" had lived since the Roman Armies left their shores 650 years previously in A.D. 410. Seeking the throne of England, which he believed was rightfully his, William stormed the south coast of England with an army consisting of Norman, French and Belgian forces. Following his victory over King Harold William was crowned King of England on Christmas Day, 1066. He appointed Odo, his half-brother, as his Bishop, not because he felt the need of religion or God's help, but because he felt those who served him would be more faithful to his cause if God was on their side. The fictional side of this story revolves around a Saxon family who operated a sheep ranch in Senlac, a small yet important village about seven miles from Hastings. Bruce, a widower, raised a daughter and three sons, each one involved in the operation of the ranch. This close knit family is shattered when the invading Normans ravish their farm looking for food to feed their 10,000 man army.
