Fight for tomorrow,
The seeds of today,
Problems never few,
Always the same,
Strive for the wind,
Grasping fool,
What did keep?
Tick of the hands,
Every stroke,
Panting breath,
Moving forward,
Clear water ahead.

A Transparent Look at Vocal Challenges and Top Stories
Almost three years ago, we shared a resource article that served as a place for people to suggest new challenge prompts. We thought it would be a good idea to refresh that thread, and take the opportunity to answer a few common questions about top stories, how challenges are judged and how submissions are reviewed.

I agree, short poem that opens a world of imagination. Words are you two edged sword Jayme.
Thereβs so much unspoken wisdom in between the lines here. Very inspiring, short lines that motivates us to keep going. Well written and beautiful transition from line to line, I especially like this transition; β Tick of the hands, Every stroke, Panting breath, Moving forward,β ππ½
That closing line? βClear water ahead.β Chefβs kiss. Feels like hope finally exhaled.
This reads like a poem. It makes me think about perseverance, like when we keep going despite problems.
