Poems are just words on paper that sometimes rhyme
Why is it so hard to think of happy lines
Maybe my brain will go there sometime
Why is it always violence and crime
Who controls my thoughts, not I
If it were, it would be rainbows and butterflies
Not filled with all these lies
I'm insignificant through plenty of eyes
These thoughts can drive you towards different highs
Don't give it power it is unwise
Disarm them with its own demise
Have knowledge of brighter skies

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
