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”
but I learned very early
she had an exception
if pushed to full annoyance
(a rare event – she…Read More4 Comments-

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! 😂

Protest
Protest! They say they care.
Protest! They wouldn’t dare.
Protest! They cut your hair.
Protest! They strip you bare.
Protest! They foul your air.
Protest! Your bruises hurt.
Protest! Your face is dirt.
Protest! Your eyes are tired.
Protest! Your jaw is wired.
Protest! Your eyes are black.
Protest! No going back!
Protest! Y…Read More![]()

Protest sometimes isn’t enough, especially not when faced with such horrors. -Curt

Sadly, I agree – I live in England, we’re all affected by Trump, Iran, Israel, all the cruel rhetoric on all sides, but I so hope America overthrows your President soon. Only thru a public uprising, it seems, can normality be restored in The States. HJx

Girl this is something. Protest to be heard but who is even listening? they keep doing the damage. This is good

It’s borne out of my frustration at The World, Fia. The Devil, threatening to wipe out a civilization using foul-mouthed rhetoric only makes life worse for all of us, bluffing or not. The Devils on the other side are just as bad, if not worse -putting to death 30,000 innocent protestors. Pray we all move to Peace, soon, girl. Take Good Care of…Read More

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.

Most rule books are written by fools. A good example are the actors you see in life. At church, the shopping center or on TV. Be who you are and not someone’s marrioette.

Powerfully penned, Lizz. Outstanding write that’s direct and to the point my friend. Never be afraid to be who are you.. I’m flawed myself with lots of quirks as well, I fucking embrace those flaws, because that’s a big part of what makes me who I am. It doesn’t define me it’s just part of me. If that makes sense? lol. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

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
