It is a great pleasure to welcome a descendent of Thomas Percy [1550-1605], a revolutionary and co-conspirator with Robert Catesby [1772-1605] and Guy Fawkes [1570-1606] in a failed attempt at regime change on November 5th 1605. Thomas was, sadly, despatched by musket ball. Catesby suffered a similar fate. Fawkes, to avoid the messy inconvenience of quartering, jumped from the gallows and broke his neck. He is best remembered of all the gunpowder plot conspirators and is burned in effigy in England on November 5th every year by small boys chanting ‘remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I have it on good authority that the ‘Percy’ of today has no animosity to the current monarch.
Once again – Welcome

Hello David, and a warm welcome to Sydney Poetry.
This is a social site built by the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds) for the poets (and friends) of Sydney (and surrounds).
You can:
This being a social site the more we all do here the more interesting it becomes for everyone.
While there's no editor deciding what gets published there is just a bit of post facto moderation to keep it clean and on-topic.
I hope you enjoy your time on the site and find it useful.
Best wishes,
Adrian
