Poetry Peeps! It’s the last month of the year, and the last poetry project of the year, and we’re doing a last look at history. While the poetry form you choose is your own, the theme is a wistful commentary on history. Perhaps it’s a moment formalized in history books, or just part of your own family history – but where do you wish you’d been? What do you wish you’d seen firsthand? And how will you remember it in a poem? We hope you’ll join the fun and share!
