The full moon creates a white light across the snow,
where shadows dwell in the corners and
animal tracks are frozen.
The tip of the long icicle glows like a light.
a single light within the warped darkness
that simulates day.
The icicle looks like a tiny star that
could guide the way in the night when
the lights go out.

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.
