Fossils
Stones are old, they have seen it all. Its a shame they can't talk... But they can.
They are a blythe stone
They laugh at the answers sought
Known by them alone
About the Creator
Jori T. Sheppard
I make my own cover art to my stories. I don't follow the traditional approach, I need to challenge myself by putting a twist on the prompts I am given. The only rule I follow is "Don't be bad", and that gives me a A LOT of wiggle room

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.

I enjoyed the Anthropomorphism of the stone.
Did You paint that picture Yourself? If so, that's amazing. Nice poem btw about fossils. I made one about them too awhile back.
