I'm a Stranger to Love is a work that tells a story that expresses our longing for even the simplest affections. It expresses our innocent envy and every day struggle to be seen in the way that we see others, and want to see ourselves. It is not hateful. It is an observation of what is within our reach but not yet ours. It is the love that we won't always be a stranger to.
I'm a Stranger to Love
Every day I watch from the window
It walks by with a smirk
It stops for a quick kiss
It's romantic
It's familial
Friendly, playful
It holds hands
Shares hugs
Love flows by
And I'm a stranger to it.

Bare Branches Breathe
A breath of fresh air. That is what is definied by this poem. Vibrant instances of color bring life to lonely trees. And in the wind their song sings sweetly a story of what was, what is, and what will be. An admiration of a youthful glow, that coerces the beauty around to shine with it. It expresses how freely love takes us by the hand and dances with us in the breeze. And as we bask in the moment, that we wish would last forever, we breathe.

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.
