I love poems where the form reflects the content. When this came to me, I could just imagine having a tantrum and stamping my little foot along with the beat of the words.

Felt it, seen it. But lovely when you see a child has learnt a better way! Rhiannon

Thank you for your comment Rhiannon. 

My niece was a terrible tantrum-er.  She'd lie down, in the supermarket aisle, in the puddles on the road, wherever she happened to be, and scream her head off.  My sister used to ignore her and just walk off, which was the best approach.  Sounds like you've been through all that !

Thanks to Jenny and Maxine for their comments.  You're never too old for a bit of foot stamping - it's very cathartic smiley
