Pendragon
Historical humor and a twist on a classic tale
I once heard a rumor
A funny story about King Arthur
He loved his wife and kingdom
So he did not out her
When she loved his best friend
Lancelot the strongest of them all
Their affair could have been
The kingdom’s wretched downfall
But the curious thing is
Arthur never seemed to mind
Really he couldn’t love his wife
For they were of the same kind
His parents never conceived
A boy to raise into a king
So Arturia became Arthur
And that fixed everything
Woman to man, and not in love
That is the story’s happy end
Why of course the king would gladly give
Her wife to her best friend.

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.
