Contest Host's Note: "A number of reviewers have asked me to remove the old, invalid links. I'm not going to. It's always a shame when people leave the site, reduce their accounts, or remove reading items from this site, and there are many reasons why this happens. At the time that those items were around they were judged to be worthy of celebration in this contest. They are part of the history of this contest. That still remains, even if the items do not." Round 2 Winners - Guest Judge drboris  Write a a poem of no more than 80 lines meant to be a learning tool for others about a particular historical event. Poems have often been used to easily learn historical events for both adults and children. Now I want you to put your writing abilities to use and make one of your own. Good luck! 1st Place
