I was afraid of your strange power
Beautiful guardian of the worlds
I wandered through for many an hour
Each one woven from lovely words
I yearned to catalogue your cards
And understand the secrets of your art
You orchestrated the voices of bards
Renewing that late novel, my heart
About the Creator

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.
