The Devil’s Whore? – This Week’s Picture It & Write
By brookeshaden
From the sour scowl my mother wore, I knew she detested them. I wasn’t certain what the children were doing in the woods so late at night. The softest buzz of chanting could be heard. The faint scent of smoke and ash lingered. Was my mother right? Were they playing with the devil himself? “Witches! Whores!”My mother spat. I continued to peer outside my window, staring out into the black forest. “Stop staring! Is that what you want to become, Madeline? The devil’s whore?” I shook my head sternly. My mother stormed off, muttering prayers. A black smear was moving in the distance. I could see someone running. A blur of red, a dab of yellow. It was a girl. My fingertips touched the cool glass. What was she running from? Or, who was she running to?

30 Day Letter Writing Challenge; Letter 13 — Someone you wish could forgive you
*image source: google.com/images
I have a sister
who despises me
Over what is
ancient history
And treats my family
with utter contempt
From her own past
seems she is exempt
To my loving husband
she’s never spoken
Though I must say
his heart isn’t broken
He looks at her
in the same way
That she views me
with open display
It bothers the others
more than does me
Because of this one
thought I do carry
When there does come
her judgement’s time
Whose will God see
as the greater crime
Those sins I’ve committed
done in my past
Though they were seen
as plenty and vast
Or the one that
she repeats every day
when no forgiveness
is shown my way?
And yet I wish
she would at least try
For my parents sake
before the both die!

This is dedicated to all those poor young ladies who went out to have fun with friends and never made it back home. God bless their souls.
