Merriam-Webster keeps a year-by-year list of when words were first recorded, or first recorded as being used in a particular sense. Each year gives us a list of somewhat random unusual and mundane words. Your challenge: Take the list from some significant year, such as the year of your birth, and build a poem from the words on the list. You don't need to be limited to just the list, unless you choose to do so. Any kind of poem will do - just make it meaningful. Assignment inspired by the ever-inspirational Amy Burvall
