B. A. Durham’s False Memories blends dream and reality in a seamless mix. As his father, afflicted by Alzheimer’s, fades away, the narrator is haunted by a dream that may be a memory, returning to him insistently. The piece is full of wonderful detail (the father touching his lip where once there was a mustache, “but now he is clean-shaven—he has been for years” — and moving in revealing the complexities of a family’s life. A worthy winner which shows the power of dreams to influence us.

Oof this hit me so hard! Such an emotional Haiku!
Wow, this one really packs a punch & lingers on the pallet. Just three lines, eleven words, seventeen syllables to inform a lifetime & one's entire existence.
Wow! So much said in so few words!
I felt this! Love it.
Very relatable. Great work!
What a visual that created. I felt that one!
Another of those so relatable and wish they weren’t relatable poems! Lovely work Joelle ❤️✨❤️✨
