In England, the legions of Shakespeare-doubters continue to grow. They don’t believe the famous bard wrote all of the lines in that vast library of literature assigned to him.

William Shakespeare, wordsmith “king”
some people doubt the whole damn thing
such teeming thoughts for just one man
perhaps Chris Marlowe had a hand
and others missed some great acclaim
when many names became one name
as someone cheated men with skill
and claimed the work was all by Will

    Interesting view of one of the greatest in Literature (if not the greatest!).
    And great honor to have a poet and songwriter like you in our community, welcome!

    God! Do I know this one! Apparently Edward de Vere XII Earl of Oxford had a dab hand in. I pray for the day it is resolved so I can get on with my life ( shaking hand reached for the valium ) :) j

    Thank you both for being the first to comment on one of my first attempts on the Triond site. Mr. Devere are you a descendant of Edward XII Earl of Oxford? I am highly impressed to meet you
    and will go forth to your site and check it out. Thanks again
    Maria for your comment.
