The poem, as well as the picture, is excellent. The rhyme and rhyme, (taken together) is great. I have tried to count the beats (stresses) and I came to the conclusion that each paragraph is 7-6-8-6 with the exception of the second paragraph which (to me) is 8-6-8-6. I could be wrong. Any comment...? Dom

    Dom, yes, I realize there is some variation in syllable count in this one. I just went with what sounded right and said the heck with the numbers. LOL Thanks so much for your generous review :-) Brooke

I perfectly love this poem really shows that the picture works well for it. It's hard for me to write this because I'm still laughing. Okay I'm composed. The imagery of your poem really didn't need the picture that much but however with the picture it's fantastic. Your words are very creative, original and inspiring. Thank you for sharing and posting this for everyone for to make them laugh as much as I. May you and yours be blessed always....

Hello. That is a child's lament...it wasn't me! And how often they don't see the evidence on their faces...bless the wee ones.
May you be well and the little one too!

I just love this poem, Brooke. Both the picture and the delightful poem let us know who the culprit really is even though he denies it. Another darling image of Sawyer.
My best to you.

Well you can tell that Sawyer by the innocent look on your cup cake smeared face. LOL That is so cute. You thought up the right poem for this picture Brooke. Absolutely adorable picture. Nancy

Just for his cute innocent expression, I'd have to vote Sawyer 'Not Guilty Your Honour'. :-)

He'd also make a great lawyer for the defence.

Very cute read, Brooke, with a sweet (excuse the pun) theme.

Best wishes, Ted

    Thank you, Ted - of course, in my eyes, he'll never be guilty. My children were guilty of plenty, but not my little Sawyer. LOL :-) Brooke

I have to give it six stars because I too would be a cupcake thief! What a priceless look on Sawyer's face. This poem has such whimsy and clever wording. Somebody must have slipped the cake in my unwilling hands. Yes, I believe that, things often end up in my unwilling hands through no fault of my own! Often accused of things for which there is no evidence, check! Too, too, cute.

Sawyer, Sawyer, Sawyer... Your mommy probably tells you "wait till you have kids, I hope they're just like you!"

Of course she'll say that, she's your Mom! Great poem to go with a great photo, Brooke!

Nicely done... John

    John, thank you so very much :-) - Miranda was an inveterate, champion liar/denier, so now it's her turn to be on the receiving end LOL :-) Brooke

This is another beautiful poem from the author in this piece of writing. Sawyer doesn't look to be too bothered at all. He is unashamed. I wish I was as innocent as this again. I could go back to where it all went wrong. LOL.

    Tomes, thank you so much. :-) I just made up the theft for the sake of the poem - the cupcake was given to him. LOL Brooke
