Three Strakes You Are Out
Ring Bell
All dress In White
Smell the beautiful Roses
Taste the bitterness of unloved

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.

For me, this poem is a message that speaks to the superficial construct of the ceremony/festivities itself, and calls on those who choose this path to go deeper. Examine beyond the superficial stuff to what it's really all about because the divorce lawyers can afford second and third condos with the amount of business rolling in.
so pure
Great use of the senses Mariann, win, lose and start again. Rough indeed.
Nice take on the challenge
Loved those last two lines
Ohh this was beautiful! Incredibly done! 💌
Brilliantly constructed & powerful! Very well done!!
Gosh you packed a hugeeeee punch in so few words! Well done!
Quite a shocking and abrupt twist to something that should last forever.
Sounds like a doomed marriage with a relieved when they divorce.
