I’m so far behind
So much to catch up on
I’m entirely out of the loop
The chickens have flown the coop
I’ve so much to do
There is so much to see
So here I go
You watch and see
I’ll come up from behind
And pass you by
Because the race is on
And I refuse to come in last

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.

Love it, Sharon. Run! Run! Run! But make sure to warm up first cause those shin splints are something awful.

I love your forward momentum! Make sure to take care of yourself on the way to the front of the pack :)
I love Hannah's son's optimism, participating is the win. So back winner is an Inverse winner by far.
My son, losing in the race on his first ever sports day, came to me looking cheerful and claiming to be "the back winner". Last need not be a problem.
