Some witches were burned
But far more were buried – lost
Till moonlit tides turn

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.

Gosh this was extreme powerful! Well done!
I like this. So simple yet meaningful <3
Such a punch with so few syllables 🤜
Supposedly to save their souls. In reality, to protect the status quo & power structures in place. The return of the Sanderson sisters? Will someone be lighting a black candle? No, patriarchy will finally come to an end. But what will replace it?
this is so powerful. well done!
