Basket of Beauties
Poetry on kittens in a basket
A basket filled with hopes and joys,
To many it looks like a bundle of toys.
But be forewarned those with no control,
If you don't refrain it'll leave an empty hole.
So many would like to accept all six,
However the allotment is only single picks.
You wish and you plead but to no avail,
Leaving you clenching both tooth and nail.
There is another answer to obtain this forbidden pleasure,
A high quality camera is needed just for good measure.
Simply snap a photo and all six are yours,
Forever in your grasp no matter how it pours.
And if you decide to choose a single one,
Remember this; they are all worth the fun.

Worked at a haunted elementary school
I worked as a custodian at an elementary school for about a year. My dad, who had previously worked there, used to tell me stories about the place being haunted. He would come home and excitedly recount the ghost's latest antics, eager to see what it would do next. I always thought he was just being his usual goofy self, spinning interesting tales that may or may not have been true. I had never personally encountered a ghost before or believed they were real, but that all changed during my time at the school.

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.
