A dexterous soul
Is required to hold a
Grudge for many years

The Winter Wind
Inarticulate A frozen razor of rage Impatient with life

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.

I love this! And not just because I adore crows. Great poem!
Well said. They are pretty smart, and certainly dexterous.
I love how if you change the emphasis between “is” and “required” it changes the meaning so much. Well done!
Deep thoughtful poem!
Mmm. I'm going to have to mull this over for the sense of it. Crow's feet are lines but crow's feat? What is that and where is the link to dexterity?
Oooo, I was today years old when I knew that I'm a dexterous soul, hehehehe. Loved your poem!
Loving this haiku ♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️💕
