Fallout: A Collection of Poems

MOTHER STAYED HOME

And mother stayed home 
That day

And the next one 
And the next one

And mother thought 
That day

And the next one 
And the next one
 
About times far away 
From her mental prison
 
And hoping for drought 
In the stream of lies
 
But Mother did nothing 
That day
 
And the next one 
And the next one

About The Author

Sam Barrowcliffe

I am nineteen years old and will begin studying English Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Warwick in September. Since starting at Mouthing Off as Creative Writing Editor, I have written and published a number of short stories and can’t wait to share even more. My favourite genres are horror and science – fiction and I take great inspiration from the likes of Rod Serling, Charlie Kauffman, H.P Lovecraft, Christopher Nolan and Phillip K. Dick. In the future, I hope to follow my dream of becoming a professional screenwriter and novelist, following in the footsteps of my idols. I look forward to publishing even more fiendish tales and I hope people will continue to enjoy reading them, as much as I have writing them!
