end of the end end, end is it the end?

well it is the end  nothing but the end  end, end   given british olympic triumph  seen many peole out on their bikes  lots of bradley wiggins  fluorescent   fat men  in knee pinching shorts sweating by the mile

poetry well  told today will be made redundant on 1st september    after nine full years due to overwhelming funding cuts
writing zennor wedding  -   more romantic mermaid poem than zennor morning    more closely based on the mermaid fairytale    of the mermaid seducing the man in church   a lot of notes and lines such as  "she is not a kings daughter  a banshee a tear heart " or "they pulled her until,she turned fish"
this zennor wedding long term construction unlike my other poems  looking at  a big Giotto and   saint George and the Dragon which were  written in one go

watched the cleopatras now available on youtube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfHucSYFoTg  the same era of  top notch British TV dramas such as  Upstairs Downstairs I claudius and Brideshead revisited  this was an odd pantomime of  a saga with    indoor sets  like a theatre production    the Cleopatras  told the tale of the ptolemaic    dynasty   and  all seven cleopatras    mainly  basic english  soap opera  with  court intrigue and funny costumes  i watched and remembered it  as it is the only TV dram  I know that mentioned the  seleucids (episode 3 and 4)   and the inter dynastic  feuding but using repertory  type acting  and  lack of  extras     not quite an epic and a dud on first release  not much scope for drama as the seleucids and ptolemies   only really know from inscriptions, bit of  chronicle gossip    and their Greek faces on coinage

reminded me of the Ptolemies quartet   by Duncan Sprott  only two novels of a planned four   volume 1 house of the eagle  2004 volume 2  daughter of the crocodile  2006   with a  similar  pantomine  history of the  early Ptolemies from  Alexander the Great 's General Ptolemy I to Ptolemy IV
