In Comfort We Trust
A Relaxing Alexandrine
In comfort we trust first, as life can be hectic
A mattress for the gods, pure-cotton sheets to boot
Velvet floors when we dream, bathroom looking smectic
A robotic butler, also playing the flute
Ketogenic gourmet, carbs are not essential
Organic nutrition, tasty treated water
Continuous good health, more than a potential
Watching YouTube footage, a cute river otter
My wife alive again, smiling in the moonlight
Deterministic flaw, happiness recaptured
Every illness beaten, every fright turns alright
Life in the Universe, becoming enraptured
A cat seems to know it, whenever it slumbers
Sleeping in sheer comfort, figuring the numbers

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.
