This is so funny. I enjoy this shot as the poor kid looks for help from anywhere. The poem captures the act well and recognizes this young lad as a heartbreaker.

Dear Brooke,
This must be the girl next door that I referred to in my comment on another poem of yours. I can see she might search for revenge as Sawyer obviously is not concentrating on the kiss.

    Reg, thank you so much :-) Chloe is far too smitten with Sawyer to do anything but kiss him again. LOL Brooke

LOL, so that is your Sawyer's girlfriend, Chloe! She is as pretty as my granddaughter, Chloe. Sawyer has very good taste already!! What a sweet poem to go with that sweet photo. I did think that Sawyer looked a little bemused by it though. LOl. xsx Sandra

    Thanks so very much, Sandra. He has such a crush on Chloe - he calls her up on his play phone whenever she is not around, but he always looks a bit bemused by her public displays of affection. LOL :-) Brooke

Dear Brooke, This poem is precious. Sawyer looks like he isn't too sure about the kiss and Chloe really is a poacher. :) I can't wait until Sawyer grows up and sees this awesome pictures and beautiful poems. Great job, Shirley

This is very well constructed with a complement of rhyme. The theme is fascinating as you choose to illustrate it with the photo of two children. If they were in a public school setting in Massachusetts, the "poacher' would probably be suspended for a sexual assault. The same might be the case in other states as legislatures have enacted a variety of "protective laws.'

    Joe, yes, it is sad that things change so quickly as children grow older. It's too bad that innocence is given such a short time in our society. Thanks so much for your thoughtful review. Brooke

Aw this is such a lovely poem especially with the beautiful photo to go with the poem. Not too long and straight to the point. I also love the layout looks really professional. Thanks for a great read.

I like the sentiment of this poem, but I'm not sure what a "stolen" kiss would be. I guess that would be an unexpected kiss in the sense of your poem; otherwise, there might be harassment problems! Overall, loved the meter and rhyming in the poem.

    Thank you, Izzie. Yes, I meant that this little girl sneaked up behind him to plant her kiss. Very innocent. LOL Brooke

A light and airy poem. Easy to read and brings back memories of stolen kisses in my days. Those were certainly not crimes since love was definitely in my heart.
