A life so high strung you could pluck it.
So much to do before kicking the bucket.
Instead of facing the dread,
I would rather stay in the bed.
But for now I must attend this banquet.

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.

Great Limerick! Crazy how a fun story can be written like this. I'm probably the most novice of novices when it comes to writing stories and poems but I've always found it fun to do. I came back to it recently after a few years and started learning about haikus and Limericks because of these Vocal challenges, and it's been fun seeing others like yourself writing like this.. it motivates me to write more and improve!
I felt this one. Life can really be a rat race at times.
I mean, as long as the food's good....😅
Very nicely done.
How i feel, so many stories to write before that bucket. So well said,
Wonderfully expressed, Stephanie! 💕🙂
Our lifelong enemy "stress".
