Say It Plainly Challenge Winners
A pattern showed up pretty quickly reading this shortlist: these poems don’t circle what they’re about. They just say it. That makes for some tough, raw reads. Miscarriage, infidelity, chronic pain, money, addiction, fear for someone you love. Not much is softened or dressed up. By the end, I felt like I needed a cigarette, and I don’t even smoke.

I love this! It's so different to all the other entries I've read so far. Good luck 😀

If only we reach out and make a cup for it. Then it will lay. But if we- oh I love your last line. This was outstanding, Jada 🤗❤️
