Eclipsed from her life I was
Curtailed to follow her cause
Loved her I did since before
In the wee hours of the war
Poseidon won and then lost
Serpentine for being crossed
Everyone had to be tossed

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.

You added rhyme to yours Patrick! I feel there's a Pink Floyd reference I'm probably missing, but the shortness of these entries means you can only say so much in seven lines, and I get a feeling of loss in this.
nice poem
