Mahe Storm
A poem inspired by sitting on a beach during an electric storm in Seychelles.
Layers of blues and greys,
Interweave and interline,
Effervesce and intertwine.
Chalky horizons of crayola greys
Of fingerpainted clouds and tormented waves
Muted palettes of steel and iron,
Elemental powers harnessing desire.
Ribbons of light and dark
Dancing in empassioned rage
Burning with fury
In their watery graves.
Rhythm and melody beat from the skies
The greys and the blues twist their hopeless disguise.
Bleary clean smudges amidst pools of black,
The storm has arrived now, there’s no going back.

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.
