YWS Birthday Poetry Contest: Results!

Hello hello! First of all, thank you so much to all of you who participated in the contest. All of the entries were amazing, nostalgic, fun, heartwarming or picturesque or some combination of these. Without further ado, here are the ones that ended up taking the winning places:

First Place goes to . . . @TypoWithoutCoffee

yellow sunbeams pour from the cracks in our collective
writers block, when it breaks we
salvage the rubble to build new obstacles to climb

Second Place goes to . . . @Dossereana

You have such a soft voice,
While I lie and listen,
So lovely is the book you read

Third Place goes to . . . @NivedaJames22

yellowing leaves point to the passage of time, falling upon these
wearied roads that have been traversed by feet of
souls, who hope to change the world with the eloquence of their words.

A huge round of applause for everyone!
