What is the significance of the title little boy crying?

Assuming that you are talking about the poem "Little Boy Crying" by Mervyn Morris, the answer is in the poem. It's about a little boy who is crying. The author describes a situation in which the three year old boy has done something he knows is bad. He is crying in anticipation of the slap that he knows is coming as punishment. The father who is about to punish him explains in the last stanza of the poem that he is sad that he moved and saddened by the boy's tears. He conveys that his son's tears are heartbreaking to him and implores the son not to begin using the tears as manipulation. Hope that this answer helped- and that you were talking about this poem!=)
