Thank you for participating in our “Mama And” prompt series! We had wonderful submissions for our month of running in March. See our favorite contributions below!

Our prompt for April is: Mama And Laughter

Whether it’s flash fiction, micro-story, drabble, found or short poetry, or even art, each prompt will be an invitation to share a unique take on the motherhood experience. Literary Mama staff will select favorite contributions to share at the end of each month. We can’t wait to laugh with you!

“I spent years
building a new normal
knitting myself together
compensating for the slack
before I could run again
over the highway
across the bridge
and marvel
at its rusty, rounded arch
holding everything
safe”
