Right now we’re being
Cautious and callous
Respectful and resentful
Patient and painful
But it just doesn’t matter
Half the world wants to help, the other doesn’t care
Whether you want a haircut or why your kid won’t share
Everything is crazy now and we just need to be
Nicer so we can be free..
Opposing forces like never before
Lose the battle win the war
It’s been a year of shame and hate
History repeats a world of fate.
Disappointment in society
Being better than we can see
Purposefully exposing our hearts
Leads to limitations.
When will we ever go back to normal?
Will gatherings ever again be casual?

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.
