Toil! Toil
through rain and soil;
be the bane
of those who’d foil
anything
lively and loyal
‘fore blossoming
rightfully royal!
Enduring pain,
expanding floral,
we decorate
this mortal coil.

Gusto given raw, this fire grows refined.
Perhaps mishap mars the mind,
but every misstep helps align
with that which burns both bold and bright:
The truth behind a steady shine.

Poetry demands a brutal honesty that refuses to be hidden beneath polite smiles or pretty metaphors.
With striking stories behind every bruise, our finalists made a lasting impact ⬇️

Today, we’re grateful for the voice behind belief that whispers, “try again” when doubt creeps in.
Here’s to the dreamers who refuse to shrink, the doers who begin before they feel ready, and the brave hearts who trust the path when it’s not yet lit 🍻
