""*A poet spy once laid a clever trap Magnificent treasure hunt with a map Two broken handles, a small golden key A rendezvous under a honey-tree. Midnight moon was to its golden rays cast. A pirate ship to sail with blacken masts. A bold scheme, a vexing puzzle for sure. To trick the wicked and award the pure!""

A poet once wrote for her daughter and her family and then a few recidivists, trolls and friends...but not necessarily in that order. Regards, The Entertainer. (You are a writer, with a healthy ego, like most excellent writers ... probably unhealthy, lol).

Sorry, the thing just flowed out from the invisible realm of ink, words and Posey. See my friend, your creativity inspires such and gives rise to an urge to cipher more about life, love, poets, poetry, art, imagination and eternity...

You excell in the neon poetry! Rise up! Fists in the air! Keep bringing that rebellious attitude with your words.

Thank you James. I enjoy writing...I'm all for the Revolution! - though I am certain most laureates would turn in their graves. Love this - David Bowie's thoughts:

"If you need a legend, you must be going in deep. It’s a sophisticated cover that amounts to an entire artificial life history (and supporting documents) to fool even determined counterintelligence professionals."

"That attractive stranger smiling at you from across the bar: possible romance, or a honey trap ready to seduce secrets out of you? They may even have been sent by your own side, to test your loyalty. The KGB named their male seducers ravens and the females are swallows. Honey - but not so sweet."

"One way to disrupt the activities of an enemy intelligence service is to spread disinformation: falsehoods, rumors, and fake stories. (Not to be confused with misinformation, which is unintentionally false.)"

"One way to catch fish involves dangling bait in the water. And one way to collect intelligence involves dangling an officer in front of the enemy. If the enemy bites, you’ve got a double agent on the inside, someone to gather secrets or spread disinformation. You may also use a dangle to identify enemy officers with the intent of removing them from your country."

"You need a cover to mask the fact that you work for an intelligence service. Sometimes it’s just a false name. Other times you might need to carry business cards. In extreme cases, you’ll need a full-on legend."

"A cipher scrambles your message into nonsense by substituting (and adding to) the letters in it. For someone to read it, they’ll either need the key or to be skilled at cryptanalysis".

"Some of the most important meetings in espionage last less than a second. A brush contact is barely contact at all: a moment’s jostle on a busy platform, two strangers passing on the street. Just enough to exchange something - a word, an envelope, a key. It’s so swift and subtle, even a trained surveillance team can miss it."
