Julius Caesar
Caesar was dictator for life,
He was also stabbed by a
knife.
Cassius and Brutus wanted
Caesar to die,
While Marc Antony
told everyone how much he hated that guy.
Marc Antony and Cleopatra fled to Alexander,
Right after
Octavian took over throne as dictator.
Marc
Antony died by commenting suicide,
That's the same
way Cleopatra died.

Julius Caesar
Caesar was a man without fear
But the Senators
not far from his rear
His
lust for power was great and leading
But should have listened to his wife's great heeding
History is still in awe at the power he
had
And may have succeeded without his big head
We love you Julius and know what you lack
Oh only if you hadn't been stabbed in the back
Now this is where Antony comes into play
And man, is Brutus gonna pay
Now Octavian
cuts around the bend
Which
leads to Antony and Cleo's end
By Nick H.
Spartacus
They may write him down in history
With their bitter twisted
lies
They fought him across Italy
Where many many died
But like a great gladiator
His crew gave them a great surprise.
They wanted to see
him broken
Bowed head and lowered eyes
He hid at Mt. Vesuvius
And came out fighting with great
pride.
100,000 strong,
but still Spartacus died.

Julius Caesar’s Life
Julius Caesar was a bad dictator got stabbed
in the
back by a bunch of traitors.
The soothsayer said beware the ides of March
Julius Caesar said back off don't be harsh.
Brutus was a good friend that stabbed him
in the back he did not
give Julius any slack and left him
to die now he's as burnt as an apple pie.
By Andy A.
Cleo and Antony
When Cleopatra heard that Antony was in her palace she
began to smile
She first met him years before in Egypt when
she was just a child
The minute she laid her eyes on him, she fell in
love with him
Though, she didn't want to be a cheater
‘Cus she
was married to Julius Caesar
"Caesar
has been stabbed" Antony said
And dead
he is today
That's when Cleo's smile faded away
They had to leave Rome
immediately
Both Cleo and her son
had to find a way to flee
Antony
desired to help Cleo
This was a risk
Because his enemies would strengthen against
him in Rome
Scaring him all the way home
Antony disguised himself as
a pregnant beggar
A muscular
one at that
Obviously it worked though
Because they were on their way
back
When they got to Egypt
, Cleo and Antony got married in the Nile
With Cleo's son, Caesarion along
Then they produced children
3 more to come along with them
By Ebony H.
Spartacus
Spirited and brave in everything he did
Powerful and Persuading
Advised many slaves to search for
freedom
Realized his
future early in life
Tried to get out from
under the government
A loving person
to Varinia
Continued his fight from slavery
Undying in his attempt
for freedom
Stays in the hearts
of all slaves

A Man Named Caesar
There once was a man named Caesar
He was a big lady pleaser
The Senate all hated him Brutus
did too
So they stabbed
him in the back and said
Goodbye old Foo!
By Stephen M.
Julius Caesar
Caesar’s victory was great,
But Pompey’s people
were irate.
Caesar’s people
celebrated,
Pompey’s became
irritated.
The soothsayer prophesied,
Told Caesar to avoid March's
ides.
Caesar’s wife,
Calphurnia, also tried to warn.
Caesar
disregarded it and went out into the storm.
Upon
arriving at the meeting of the Senate,
Some members
said “Caesar must die,” and they
meant it!
One was Caesar’s friend,
This friendship he could
not mend.
Brutus was the man,
Killing Caesar was his plan.
After others stabbed him too,
They knew Caesar’s
rein was through.
By Karissa A.
How It Went Down
Julius Caesar was an evil dictator
Cassius
was his blood thirsty traitor
Cassius
came up with an evil plot
Jealous
of what Caesar's got
Brutus went
to the dark side
The senators
stabbed Caesar and he died
After Antony 's speech, the commoners were ready to kill
They acted like they had been popping pills.
By Katy M.
Caesar the Great
Caesar, Caesar some people would say he
was a great pleaser,
And others thought he was
a teaser,
He was
crowned dictator in 44 B.C.,
And
by that time he was rich enough to by his
own CD,
His wife had a dream that he would
be
assassinated;
Caesar seemed fascinated with lots
of fear.
By Kylee C.
Julius Caesar Poem
A day a long time ago,
Brutus stabbed his best friend named
Caesar.
Calphurnia,
Caesar's wife warned him not to go.
Dying in
her dream- bathed in his own blood.
Et tu brute'?
he asked as dying that day
For the love of
Rome ! He finally answered.
Grieving not,
his loyal's burned the homes of traitors.
By Kirstie C.
Caesar
Born as a baby
Beaten into a man
Rich and wealthy
Who he was
Men didn’t stand a chance
Politics were his game
War was his fame
His soul burned with fire
He fears no fear
His life hung by a thread
Was hated by men, but loved by
women
He had friends who
were backstabbers
A great man’s
soul still burns hot
As the day he
died
By Corey M.
Cleopatra and Marc Antony
Cleopatra and Marc Antony,
They just wanted to live together
happily.
But then this
guy Octavian came along,
He wanted to take
Cleopatra's love from then on.
Then Cleopatra was sad,
But Marc Antony was just plain
mad.
Cleopatra thought her
life was done,
Because she knew that
Antony was her only true one.
Then she tried to commit suicide,
And Marc Antony had to
decide,
If he would fall on his
sword, or take his army's side.
When he was almost dead he heard that Cleopatra was safe
in bed.
By Mallory L.
Julius
Caesar of Rome,
Conquered his home,
Continued to fight,
And caused lots of fright.
Some commoners were mad,
Some senators were mad.
Cobblers were sent home.
Carpenters were made to roam.
For singing in the street,
And jumping on their feet,
Flavius made them leave,
For Pompey's sad death grieve.
The people loved Caesar
so.
This Brutus did know.
He loved his conquering friend,
But wanted Caesar's rule
to end.
Marullus formed a team,
Of butchers it would seem.
To kill him while at work,
And punishment to shirk.
"Beware the Ides"
The soothsayer sighs.
His hubris kept him proud,
Though his wife's voice loud.
Covering his face he died,
Losing all to shame not pride.
Giving up his honorable
life,
Caesar died by his best friend's
knife.
