We were wanderers, waltzing without worries.
We were wanderers, warriors without wives.
We were wanderers, wondering where we wait.
We were wanderers, wordless, weak.
We were wanderers, wrestling with worries.
We were wanderers, weary, weeping.
We were warriors, we wanted war.

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.
