This poem simply moved me, especially as I'm a Katrina survivor:

I couldn't resist awarding this poem. It is satire at its best. Again, as a Katrina survivor, I can also tell you that the poem carries a note of truth:
STATIC
FEMA Blues Open in new Window. (18+)
Hurricane Katrina Aftermanth. The government is here to help. Yeah Right.

The name of this award (The Phoenix Award) was inspired by the beautiful, realistic way the author captured the tragedy and the character's reactions within the story. I found the story truly inspiring:

"A Rose for Katrina" by sully (Item became invalid)

The poems contained within this poetry collection inspired me, made me cry, made me think deeper, and reawakened many of my own memories. I gave the collection an award for creating a special place in my heart and my mind:
From Pontchartrain to The Delta Open in new Window. (E)
With love to my adopted home.

I awarded Harry's poem "The Phoenix Award" for capturing the pain so many of us here in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast have experienced and endured, and for offering hope, as well:
The City Of New Orleans – 2005 Open in new Window. (13+)
A long, free-verse poem about New Orleans.
