  • Watch Your Mouth

    we weren’t allowed to curse
    so she never did it herself
    always setting the good example
    whenever we repeated words heard…
    that we were forbidden to utter…
    she’d softly remonstrate…
    “now now now…watch your mouth”

    • In our house it was the threat of having our mouths washed with soap if we cursed. And it only took one mouth washing to guarantee obedience to this rule. Very cool poem for day 7 of poetry month Willow -Curt

      • I never had my mouth washed with soap but my sister did once. I was always too afraid of getting in trouble to put a toe across any lines. Thank you, Curt

    • My cousin told me to say a word in front of my mother, and I didn’t know what it meant and I got slapped. Never said that again. haha at least not to her.

      • My mother swore all the time – redheaded temper. But she yelled at us if we did. Grandma taught by quiet example. I’m a veritable sailor mouth now, but then? Nope! 😂

    • hello lovely Liz this is freaking great ❤️you know it’s funny when I was young I went to the churches and never heard God there it wasn’t until later I heard God in nature and it was surprising how different he was than my expectations… this is beautiful ❤️

    • Hi 👋 thanks 😊 I left religion just after the covid plandemic when I started to realized the God in the sky was a lie.

      You are right. God doesn’t talk to us like people actually think. The real god/source is in you in your very breath it’s in everything that lives.

    • Powerfully penned, Lizz. A very clever write with amazing wordplay my friend. Amazing read. Appreciate you.
