The War Within
A Poem for the Lonely, Taken, or Hurt
Boy and girl go to war
Their words are weapons that pierce like swords
Their eyes are spies that pry into each other’s lives
Fighting over broken promises and secret alliances.
They were once a team, now at war
one begins to fortify their heart
the other fights for the mind
She just wants to soothe her heart from the the pain the last war has caused her
He just wants to listen to his mind, so he doesn’t end up wasting his time
She’s claiming the battlegrounds under love while he claims the field for lust.
This is the war within Us.

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.
