Comment from Tomes Johnston
This is a terrible look into sibling rivalry that the author has created with this piece of writing. There have been several instances of this sibling rivalry breaking out into open war and thus is a sad thing indeed.

Thank you Tomes.
Not all families are loving, protective units and not all family members
Forgive and forget.
In this case it was short-lived for they all only had each other.

Comment from adewpearl
solid use of rhyming couplets
what a tragic story - how terrible that far too many children are beaten by parents instead of nurtured by them, and how terrible the effect this has on the children

Shirley, I can't say enough about how beautifully this poem is really written. You've captured the essence and the tremendous degree of content and context two were your lines and words is so self-contained and self-explanatory. Your imagery displayed and conveyed even the aspects of the child spaces after being reprimanded for what they have committed. Your rhyming and rhythm was done excellently and neither of your rhymes forced, labored or strained why you rhythm float so smoothly throughout your poem which made it easy for me to read your poem so clearly. Thank you so much for sharing and posting this for others and may you have the happiest of a Memorial Day.

This is a sad little tale, but I have to wonder just how often it is replayed. So true that trust is something that is quickly lost and takes forever to rebuild.
Excellent rhyming couplets in your quatrains.

Comment from Nosha17
This was a nice poem, with good rhyming and choice of words. I liked the message because too often nowadays, people deceive each other, like you said, even within families and then it is hard to fix that rift. Smooth and enjoyable read. Faye

Thank you so much for reviewing with the understanding that not all families overflow with love. In the ones that don't it becomes self preservation at all costs.
Small hurts can simmer to grow into permanent family rifts.
I do appreciate your time and review.
Comment from maggieadams
This is way more than sibling lying...this is abuse by the mom in the highest degree. This is well rhymed and stirred my blood...I hope this did not happen, and that it is fictional.

Comment from Pullmanspb
One thing I liked about this poem was it didn't move in the direction I anticipated: I thought the reader was going to learn that 2 of the children had eaten something like ant or rat poison.
If I had a (small) reservation it would be the sense of permanency of the broken trust. That, if true, would feel too extreme; i.e. trust can be temporarily damaged.
Otherwise, nice poem and somewhat different subject matter.
