To play as children do is the innocence of time, suspended in a moment, divine yet fleeting
Those wonderful wishes we shared in a whisper by candlelight forever linger in our hearts
For the purest of hearts, dreams last longer, spread on the wings of their imagination
Soaring into the sky’s, beyond the clouds and into the stars, across the universe

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.
