Prompt words: Brother Sister Blood Chosen Love

Mother Father Sister Brother
Mother scowls and hollers “now stop”
Grabs a switch to give us a pop
These actions were emotional
Families are dysfunctional
Father silent stern and angry
Listens, frowns and drinks a brandy
Showing love was not possible
Families are dysfunctional
Brother sister become hateful
Rarely were they ever playful
Anything but conventional
Families are dysfunctional

Again, I don’t like what you’ve experienced, but I love your wordplay. Letting this pain out in such an open way takes guts!

Full disclosure. My dad never drank. His brandy was/is the Bible! Thx for reading.
