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.

nice poem
This was equally nice. Love the last line. 💖 Seems like your last few poems or so are following a trend. Do I need to take a flight and come kick some butt? lol. Seriously though, hope all is well.
So get the heart of what this is saying...quasi-half-way-not wanting to commit kind of situation. Just do or die. Serious words.
Love this!! Great piece, Real Poetic!
A great social commentary.
Very nice poem!
Say it louder for the people at the back! Loved this!
“Be intentional” for sure - love that! ☺️👍
👏 love this.
For a healthy relationship, there should be mutual respect and commitment rather than simply exerting control..I loved reading it.
