Historical figures are normally surrounded in some sort of mystique, whether for the good or the bad – think King Arthur and his round table, or Gengis Khan. Pick an historical figure and spend half an hour looking them up on the internet.

Sometimes just the imagery is enough – the rich vibrant textures or the fact that so little is actually known about the person they are a shadow; myth and deeds and nothing more!

So start writing about whom ever you choose 🙂

If you are stuck for a Historical figure why not choose Ada Lovelace as March sees Ada Lovelace Day where people pledge to write about women in technology on their blogs and what not! If you have a poetry blog you could save the poem and send it live then 🙂 And there are plenty of other historical female technologists to choose from too like Caroline Herschel.

Good writing to all.
