Horizoned spans of Autumn and clover spreading their wonder on wisped winds high.
Elevated shimmers reckon the moments and darken the bluest, cloudy skies.
Opened fans of wings and whistles shudder their messages home and gentle flows of blossomed beauty float upon taffeta woven abodes.
Casts and sways of rich brown hues echo and splay their dreams.
Swirls and whispers, rotund and new drift upon the jetted streams
Who are the messaged fallowed hands that grasp in morning dew and express their will upon seasoned lands encasing their warmth about you?
Red tindered drafts of bricks and mortars reveal an ancient song, of merried hopes and belly laughter, for here they now belong.
Rattles shutters of patterned shade cover cradle the days, and leafing fruits of wild oak trees that reveal their ancient ways.
Tiered and squared the pathway winds to encompass veiled enclosures, and wildly wisps of leaf litter bits, that reveal through double exposures, an ancestry of olden times of cart and horse will travel and resound the pastings, both learned and loved, to herald a futured marvel

Faces in the Green Mans Veil
The shadowed faces peer through the soft foliage of new growth, no distinction as to gender perceived by those of a mortal realm, as androgynous forms shape through dark course barks and silvered boughs, all watching from lofty branch and twig.

Not everyone can be trusted
When my friend and I were 12 years old, we went on a 5-day school trip to Switzerland with our class. We were introduced to the trip leaders, a group of 5 people - 1 girl and 4 boys. They all seemed nice except for one of the boys, who I'll call Nathan. I had an uneasy feeling about Nathan from the start, though my friend dismissed my concerns, saying I tend to have trust issues.

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.
