Mother In Law Poems

Premium MemberMorning Coffee

The mother-in-law woke me with her dry cough.
The electric alarm clock is registering 6am;
two hours since the baby’s last feed—
the one she came to help me with.
I crawl out of my warm bed to put the kettle on
and select the chipped coffee mug for her.

Premium MemberHow To Impress Your Mother-In-Law

Try not to roll your eyes
when she is giving helpful hints
of how she does everything.

Make sure her son (your hubby) 
calls her every Sunday 
and offer  to help her with her gardening chores
even though you detest everything
to do with gardening

Take her a cooked casserole 
every week, and sit and watch
her favorite TV show with

Premium MemberBride Goes To Plan B

Prior to ceremony Lily’s future mother-in-law insisted on things her way
She introduced a prenup, and spoiled the bride’s entire wedding day
The groom acted embarrassed, but he lived in his parents’ house
So, he kept his mouth shut, did not even make the peep of a mouse

The future mother-in-law let the bride-to-be know how things would be.

Premium MemberYou Must Love Your Mother In Law

That meddling witch I just abhor
With us it is out and out war
Read advice from the pope
There is simply no hope
I do NOT love my mother in law

She’s written down in her notebook
My daughter in law cannot cook
Well it just isn’t true
All HER meals look like pooh
I honestly don’t give a toss (insert rhyming word

Premium MemberIt Was a Good Morning Until

It was a good morning till she arrived,
the she devil that bore her only child,
occasion to visit us she contrived,
with an excuse of sorts that she compiled!

She heaved and puffed her way in to the house,
with baggage and beddings wrapped in her arm,
she flashed a smile! that mother of my spouse,
through her big wide mouth

Premium MemberMother In Law Woes

I said I did not want it, but his mother did.
So it came into my living room as a constant reminder
That there are two adults in this marriage and me.

I asked him not to do it, but his mother thought he should.
So of course he had to, for he takes all direction from her.
I pondered

Premium MemberPrayer Shawl

Prayer Shawl

When summer nights are christened
With chanting crickets –
Last of their summer season song -
Rolling fields of ripening wheat - east of the mountains -
Revisit my mind;
I picture a young woman – suitcase in hand –
Walking away – not looking back –
Face toward a city by the Sound
Leaving fields in echoes of youth
On a journey

Mother-In-Law Came To Visit a Daughter

Mother-in-law came to visit a daughter.
Son-in-law asked for how long she will stay.
Depending on you - how long I can may.
Son- in- law said " I'm agreed, it's O.K."
But before you leave you want a cup of water?

Mother In Law

My mother in law has died and was buried today.
Although apart from her son this past ten years,
she and I continued to maintain our loving relationship.

Never judgmental and kind to her core,
we shared many happy outings in her final years.
Christmas concerts, cinema dates and butterfly gardens.

Her son and I had not spoken since our acrimonious

I have a rude prying mother-in-law

Always curious, she rubs my nose raw

A notorious liar

Never to blame, does conspire

Walked out the door, her face was last I saw
