well what do you know?
you've learnt my code.
my poetic code of life that is understood by the poets and artists in the room
but never the ones to seek glory or power
we are the special ones
so we speak in special ways
this code is unspoken
but understood
not by the mouth
but by the eyes and hearts of us all.
together
we become a single unanimous sound that is too stunning to commit to a page
a symphony combusts at a mere hint of our voices as there is no better
language than love.
and we will forever be misunderstood and special
but that is why we were gifted with our voices
and our words:
we can turn 26 letters -
abcdefghiklmnopqrstuvwxyz
- into the unwritten understood codes of our hearts
and that,
is truly beautiful.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.
