To die in your arms, my one desire
But time robs us all, stole the flames
From our fire. It changed the scene
Rearranged everything
Rewrote the ending
Of you and me
Remember
Me that
Way

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.

Loved it!
So good !!!
So poignantly beautiful! Loved this so much
I believe this the first break up Nonet I have read in which time is the antagonist. Both beautifully written and deeply sad, Kelli!
Oh. So tragic!
This one had a really beautiful and natural flow.. Very sad too.
Oh my, this is so sad. Beautiful piece, my friend.
Oh, it's a tricky way to soothe us after breaking up!!!!! Liked.
I really tried to find a favorite line in this, but the fact is, it all works together beautifully. Well done, Kelli!
Awesome ,time is ebbing away and wait for nobody, it favourable to some people and unfavourable to some
Beautifully written Kelli.
