I think this is a good entry for the Temptation Poetry writing prompt.
This cute story is well told in the well rhymed verse.
Well done and I wish you good luck with the contest.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I hesitated before entering this one. It does help when I pen my emotions and they are not all negative. Stay well and safe in this troubled world.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written heartfelt poem about a little girl defending her friend from a bully who hits her and give her a bloody nose then she get grounded, life can be very unfair.

Thanks for supporting this entry with your kind review. Have a great weekend.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Tempted, finds the child who could have entered the fray but chose the sid3 of observer. This trust in rules, governance, and what's right is, in reality, dependent on actions when needed.

Temptation Poetry writing prompt contest. Nice presentation.
I read your poem several times and I don't get the temptation part.
Good luck in the contest.

Guess she couldn't resist the temptation to step in and try to rescue her friend from the bully. Probably is not defined enough. So sorry. This was a quick entry. Thanks for your review.

Comment from robyn corum
Dear Mystery Poet,
Oh, my. I totally understand the temptation to smack that guy! It's funny, I might not stick up for myself enough to slap or punch or even chew out -- but you better not mess with my buddies.
One small note:
--> As the bully kept on pulling her friend(')s hair.
Beautiful job - the way this read was in an easy sing song flow. The end came as a bit of a surprise -- but I have to assume that mom was really cheering on the inside - even if only a little. Fun stuff!
Thanks and good luck!

Thanks for reviewing this little girl's dilemma. She should have told the teacher but the teacher knew what was going on and did nothing.
Comment from lyenochka
It really isn't fair. If the boy was teasing, she should have bloodied his nose. (I'm not usually violent! ð???) But why would she be grounded? I guess she must have done something to get a bloody nose. Sounds like a good friend to have. She defends her friends.

The girl who intervened waa grounded as her dress was ruined. Mom said she should have told the teacher and not tried to remedy the situation herself. I had waited and the teacher was watching but did nothing so wanted to help my friend. Big lesson in life. Thanks for reviewing. Not all situations are fair...lol

Cheers for you!
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Well, that's what the consensus is that boys 9men) shouldn't hit girls (women). Fast forward to abuse by men on their partners. However, you contest entry reads well, Mystery Author. I like the rhyming, the smooth flow, the image, and image. Defending friends can, and does, take courage that some don't understand.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
