Who is up to the task?

I want to write a historical poem, I have an idea about Cleopatra, does anyone has to suggest anything?

Having read some of your work already, Ria, if anyone can do it, it will be you. Good luck and because of your post here, I looked up a little info regarding thoust fine Queen. Very interesting, more than I recalled from school days.

Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile
an intelligent woman with awarded winning smile.
During her years she married a brother or two
but back in those days they expected her too.
In order to reign the land she so loved
it was ordered and demanded to find a betrothed.
So she chose of her brothers Ptolemy 13 and 14
to wed over time, so that she could stay queen.
But Caesar arrived and together.............

anyway, that's my contribution,,,,,but I'm sure you will do much better. Good Luck!

Nice Matt really nice I enjoyed it but I was thinking something more...non rhyming, mystical and further use of the historical impact she had. More emphasis on the memory of her beauty, and magical aura sounding merely her name...I wont attempt to write a piece and yours was good - I hope regardless someone can work with my feedback :o)

I've always wanted to write about Cleopatra, but I always end up getting needled.

I have an option, but it's not depending on historical files or something, I try to see inside Cleopatra and the sadness in the time of her death the pride and lust for power...this is not what I want to present as the final thing, but...

"Before the final breath is done
Before your life’s ship leaves its port
Before the end appears in deep
Your lover will be dead and gone
Then, my eternal Queen, you’ll play your final card
And roll the dice once and for all,
The weariness of your heart"

I came up with this while I was studying,it's not that good but I would like some opinions!

And tell me do you know the legend of Constantine XI Palaeologus's ressurection?It's enchanting.Tell me if you want to know!

Any ideas are welcome!
