Andrea Dietrich Poet Senryu

My Mother - a Fanatic

a lover of things

which are next to godliness. . .

she cleans with gusto


Jan. 6, 2019
for the Senryu on Mother Contest of Jenish Somadas

(although our interests are very different in many way, I think I got from her my nature of being fanatical about all the things I love!)

Paul Callus January 7, 2020 at 12:20 PM Your mum reminds me of mine, Andrea! Cleanliness was one of her priorities. She made miracles in the house, even with seven siblings running all around! Regards // paul

Tom Cunningham January 7, 2020 at 2:32 AM As they say cleanliness is next to godliness, nice tribute Andrea. Tom

John Watt January 6, 2020 at 11:53 PM I can hear my mother through your poem saying, "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". Maybe you could sponsor a contest for Senryu poems where the 3 lines start with the letters "O", "C", and "D"! Love this, Andrea.

Ann Foster January 6, 2020 at 8:24 PM lol... I can almost see her running about the house... waving her dusting brushes... excellent. Ann
