Antique
Gracious progeny of Pan! You've a head crowned with flowerlets, and laurel wreaths above those precious orbs, your eyes!
Like unto a lyre is your breast, the tinkling melody resounds in your milk-white arms.
Your heart beats within that breast where slumbers the hermaphrodite.
You promenade through the night, gently moving that thigh, the second thigh, that left leg.
Winter Festival
The waterfall reverberates behind the operetta huts.
The fireworks go on and on, as time passes through the orchards and avenues near the Meandre,—the greens and reds of the sunset.
Horace's maidens wearing head dresses of the First Empire.—Siberian rounds, Boucher's Chinese Women.

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.
