Shakespeare's *Macbeth* was in my syllabus when I was in secondary school. But *Macbeth* was just an appetiser, for I went on to get the complete works of his. It was as I was reading his sonnets that I tried to mimic his 14-line poems-and the rest is history. I did not simply read Shakespeare; I encountered him. In my "mimicking" of his sonnets, I learnt that a word could be stretched from its primary meaning to other "shades" of meaning. Poetry to me is like a pilgrimage, a path of mystery, a ritual that can transport the poet from where he is to where the subject of his writing is, where he achieves a lived experience. I deliberately chose a rhyming scheme of **AABB CDCD EEFF GG**, with which I wish to import an African voice into the sacred art of sonnet writing. ✨ *OnukaoguOkechi83 is a winner of the Shortys 2025.

{CREDIT TO @Spiritsx FOR THE COVER} "No, I'm sorry....I just can't continue with this. My heart is to my clan. Goodbye." In the windswept moors of WindClan, Petalkit leads a peaceful and normal life, surrounded by the love of her family-her two siblings, Grasskit and Wrenkit, and the strong bonds of her Clan. As the seasons pass, she grows alongside them, learning the ways of the Clan and dreaming of the day when she will join her Clanmates as a full-fledged warrior. But as Petalkit matures, the quiet rhythms of Clan life begin to shift. As her heart opens to new feelings, she finds herself drawn to a cat from a different Clan-a forbidden love that threatens to break the very rules that hold their worlds together. Torn between loyalty to her Clan and the growing affection she feels for this cat, Petalfur must navigate the complexities of love, trust, and what it truly means to be a part of WindClan.

It was a ordinary day for (Y/N). Waking up from the horrible sound of her alarm. Getting up, going to the bathroom, getting ready for the day. But suddenly she heard a loud bang from downstairs. Rushing down the stairs, she could see humans...... With country flags for face? Not only that but they seem to hide something big from her, something she may have forgotten. And they worst, they are starting to act prossesive for odd reasons. Will she be able to survive and know the truth beneath the lies? Or will she shatter after becoming insane? +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-++-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ (A/N): the cover is definitely not mine. And if the story resemble someone else's then then keep in mind that I read 100s of stories before this so I might mix some up but I will try to keep it original!

Izuku hated his life. He hates school to how distant his mother is from him. Ever since that day, a year after getting told he was quirkless, it's been going downhill. What he hated the most was Katsuki Bakugo, but none of this will stop him from being a hero. Because what else is there for him? Maybe the unforgiving Gods will pity him and give him something.
