Temper Tantrum

She is in the middle of a superstore and him

was having a temper tantrum crying and screaming

and his feet were stamping on the floor.

Everyone was looking. And wondering what was going

on?

His poor mother was embarrassed and anxious.

And was calmly talking to her young son.

Turns out he saw this toy he wanted?

And his mother said NO.

So the next thing was he, was having a temper tantrum.

In the middle of the store.

She turned around and told him. Wait until Christmas Day,

as I am sure Santa Claus will have that for you on that

special day.

"So please Brent come now and be good".

So he thought about what his mum said.

And stopped crying, and took her hand.

Walking away with his mum picturing this

"the toy" he so badly wanted from Santa on

Christmas Morn.

I agree with Neville that you have a great knack for observing typical everyday events and bringing them to life on the paper for your readers. What could be just an ordinary thing most moms do everyday turns into a story of gentle patience and love in this poem. Well written Dawn 💕

You are very good at capturing these everyday, almost mundane observations and transferring them into a much more meaningful literary event.. to do this consistently takes a lot of skill.. now don't forget, keep them claws sharpened, if you please :)
