The Sea That Refused to Drown
Waves That Carried More Than Water
Sailors discovered a stretch of ocean where no one could sink. Those who fell overboard were lifted gently to the surface. A grieving widower sailed there hoping to be pulled under, to join the wife he had lost. But the sea held him firmly. Exhausted, he screamed at the waves. Only then did he realize the ocean wasn’t defying him — it was saving him. He returned home, carrying with him a new resolve: some depths exist not to swallow us, but to remind us we’re still afloat.

The Garden That Asked Questions
A hidden garden sprouted flowers only when someone asked a meaningful question aloud. “Why do we fear change?” bloomed a violet. “Where does love hide when we’re angry?” opened a crimson rose. A shy girl entered, whispering, “What if I’m never enough?” A tiny white flower slowly unfurled. It had no scent, no color, no special beauty — except that it glowed softly in her palm. The garden had answered not with grandeur but with truth: sometimes the gentlest growth happens from the hardest questions.

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.
