1. my lover Spun words
from my collapsing heart
into wildfires
2. “I love you so much,
I’m scared”
- Him
3. I breathe him in
Purge his red and blues
Until all that’s left is in
Ruins and dust
Me and him.
4. Sometimes I wonder
If loving is
taking a plunge
into the ocean
Would you say you loved,
if you didn’t drown?
5. How did we fail at us?
- Him
6. Me and you
It was an anomaly
In this pale blue dot
Out of all the possibilities
I entangled with you
7. We birthed chaos
8. Now I’m just a girl
that survived you
And You’re just
another War story
etched down my spine.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
