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.

Truly Real Poetic, when we don't care about others opinion, thoughts and perspectives about us. We can reach till the hight of successes. Otherwise we waste our energy in listening others and thinking about it.
Amen to that RP. I learned right here that I should just do me and to heck with what anyone else thinks or even treats you. Truth in Haiku.
Oh, this is bloody awesoe, RP! Love it!
