[Read Write Poem this week invited us to write about mothers. You can see the other poems here.]
No Fire-and-Brimstone for Her
My mother thinks that
when you go to church
you should feel better
when you come out
than when you went in.

my Mum would entirely agree!
:)
very pithy,
This says so much about your mother in so few words!
Hello, Juliet, Jo, and Jennifer. And thanks!
Ah, how Christianity has changed! You used to have to go in thinking you're a sinner, and come out knowing it.
I guess it takes all kinds.
oh, there's so much in this little piece! a narrator who doubts her mother? maybe? a statement about church and its purpose? religious philosophy in 100 words or less. :)
funny, mine this week was also about my mother and religion! but i made my readers suffer through many more words/lines.
Hi, Carolee. I wrote this and almost added more a few times, but decided it was enough as is - a little enigma, perhaps.
I liked yours too.
Mom knows best!
Hi, Gautami. If only it were that easy.
