Mothers

Do you have a story or poem about a mother? Biological mothers, adoptive mothers, step-mothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers, some who has been like-a-mother etc…

In the May issue I will be featuring MOTHERS and submissions sent as soon as possible will be most appreciated.

Work from Mothers or about Mothers. Fact or fiction, tributes or comedy . . .

Stories should be up to 1000 words and poems up to one page and sent in hard copy to Positive Words magazine, PO Box 798, Heathcote 3523, Victoria, Australia.

Thanks 🙂

Not so Lonely Petunia

When I saw this bed of Petunias, I was reminded of the children song ‘I’m a lonely little Petunia in an onion patch’, and now I can’t get it out of my head!

These Petunias are not so lonely but I do wonder about those ominous shadows advancing on them 🙂

Let Me Out of Here!

Guess we all know just how poor Dora feels, especially in the hectic lead-up to Christmas 😦

At least she’s still smiling 🙂

Lots of Toys

Being a grandma means playing with lots of toys and watching ABC for Kids 🙂

Slippery Slide

Oh, to be a child again 🙂

The Playground

Hope this inspires a great story or poem 🙂

Or Vice Versa!

When my children were younger they would have run up without a thought leaving me way behind!

Of course, they mean very small children but even they seem leaps and bounds ahead with some of the things they say and do!

A Beautiful Gift

 

Today’s prompt…

As always we were given many wonderful gifts this Christmas including this very beautiful one from my daughter Jess and partner Jodi.

Fifty-five children wil be immunised from measles and given a better chance at life 🙂

The Drinking Fountain

Today’s prompt…

…brings me back to my childhood and the rows of bubble taps we used. Many of us had a plastic bottle in our lunch boxes filled with cordial (frozen for summer) but fruit boxes were unheard of and soft drink only for special treats.
