I am Echo in the urban wilds
Forever plagued by my own voice
Hardly heard and never seen
Overcome by others
Louder than I am
Let me be heard
As myself
Hear me
Please

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

This broke me Stephanie. Beautifully done but also tragic. Felt it in my soul x💜
Heartbreaking... this is so relatable!! I hope this isn't autobiographical, Stephanie!!
I so feel this poem, Stephanie
I have often felt that way and now and then, feel I still do.
Even in the waning of the echo's thrall, you shall yet be heard, my friend.
