Lulled in tranquil warmth,
Shocked by blast of searing steam,
Bathers flee the heat.
Naked forms on fire,
Heedless of false modesty
Rush to seek relief.
To water or snow
They raptly scramble and leap
Arms and legs a-flight.
In cool immersion,
Fevered flanks and burning butts
Blissfully relieved.

Although no longer a Vocal + member, every now and then, I can't resist responding to a Challenge and take time out from my other writing projects just for fun.
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.
