Every Monday and Thursday at motherscope.com you will find a new story or poem written by one of our 31 regular contributors from around the world.
At Motherscope, we believe stories are unique and universal. Our mission is to democratize writing and storytelling by elevating the voices of mothers. We believe reading stories is a self-exploratory and unifying experience. When we receive and celebrate another mother's story, we become open to honoring our own.
These stories are here to keep you company, remind you you're never alone on this motherhood journey, and inspire you to take the time to write your own.
Honey-Dipped & Other Poems
By Laci Hoyt | Mom, will you play with me? / you asked, / your voice honey-dipped, / the beckoning of a young heart / wanting to connect. / Sure, in a minute, I said / as if dishes or laundry or vacuuming / carried any importance, / as if cleanliness / could replace connection.
The Thesis & Speak Your Name
By Melaina Williams | from “The Thesis” - To study life / watch a child chase bubbles / as they brilliantly take up on air / and then . . . / POP! / leaving a mist of soap water freckles / on the skin.
