QUEEN CLEOPATRA

This isn't your normal poem Though draped in familiar words And adorned with figures of speech— Four stanzas, four lines each. This is a story of bravery and brilliance One that will change your perspective On the might of a woman and love's alliance— A charming figure, so addictive. This is the story of Queen Cleopatra, An Egyptian charismatic ruler. Like the rain revitalized Egypt On the basics of love, she was well-equipped. Not only a beloved ruler she was, But a charming beauty with a cause. When she smiled, it was as if the sun itself had risen; Her eyes, like twin stars, shone with majesty. She won hearts right from the start She conquered that of Antonio And formed an alliance A bridge between two seas.
