No Mother Day for My Mother by jake cosmos aller
Mother's Day writing prompt entry

My mother

Was an original

One of a kind person.

There was a world

according to Mary

And that was that.

Once when I was a child

I bought her a mother’s day gift

She said

“John,

Don’t be fooled by the corporations.

 Mother’s Day and Father’s Days

Are nothing but a scam to get you

To buy things

It is all a big corporate scam

Don’t buy into the scam

So please no more

Mother’s day gifts

For me.

Same thing with Halloween,

Valentine’s day

Easter, And birthdays.

Christmas is different

 as is Thanksgiving

and we did have a traditional feast

on those days.

and we did treat or treating

on Halloween

even though she thought,

that holiday was a scam

created by the big candy companies.

From that point on

I never bought her

A mother’s day gift.

But I did call her

On Mother’s day.

She said

I should call anytime

For every day

Is mother’s day for her.

Don’t need no corporate

BS holiday.



Writing Prompt
Please write a poem or story under 500 words about your mom, what Mother's Day means to you, or special experiences you have had on Mother's Day.

Author Notes
My mother hated Mother's Day and said it was nothing, but a corporate plot led by big flower companies to get Americans to buy flowers and other unwanted gifts. So, she banned us from celebrating Mother's Day and Father's Day celebrations.
