Guilty! I love this. The picture is priceless. This also may be my favorite adventure of Mr. Sawyer, so far. I remember being in those shoes! I dare say that this little boy is very well loved. To chronicle these things as you are will make for a gift your family will treasure forever. Great job.

Anther beautiful write.I like the simplicity of this poem.To has innocent expression on hi face as though he hadn't done anything and he was being suspected pointlessly.
All the lines are beautiful but I especially like the last para "I say the thief is clever......the culprit isn't me"

A wonderfully amusing poem Brooke! The words and photo of Sawyer blend perfectly. You really take us into his world and with a photo like that - who can't sympathise? ! The abcb rhyme and rhythm really suit this lovely poem. Thanks for sharing :)

Love Christine

That look on Sawyer's face is priceless! LOL. Gee, I wonder who took the cupcake? Even if he didn't have it in his hands, he looks guilty! I laughed out loud just from the title and photo. Fun read, Brooke. Poem and photo are a perfect combination. :)MW

Good use of the abcb rhyme scheme. Good end rhyming. Good perfect rhyming with hands/lands. Good alliteration with claim/cupcakes...the/thief. Good rhythm and flow. Good complimentary photo followed by a humorous message.

I say the thief is clever,
he got away scot free.
The only thing I know for sure --
the culprit isn't me.

Ha ha - his little face alone would
give him away, Brooke.

My youngest grandson is the same with
anything sweet, so his mother is buying
less and baking less sweet things.

I love it! You've done such a good job of sustaining a tone of fake innocence and playfulness throughout the entire poem. Good rhythm, too, especially the lines "in my unwilling hands", "for where suspicion lands".

Hehe..cute, and lovely! :)
I like how you have written this from his point of view.
There's a reflection of innocence in this one.
Excellent rhyming as always.
I like the last two verses very much.
I enjoyed reading this one throughout.

You can make a poem out of anything, LOL. Sawyer reminds me of my sweet dog 'Gallow' when a hamburger was missing from the over pan that was still sitting on the over door. We looked at both dogs, but only Gallow had a string of cooked onions on his white mouth.

Hmm, I wonder who stole the cup cake, certainly not Sawyer, he wouldn't do such a thing. You only have to look at his face to know the child is innocent.

~A great poem, with fab rhymes.

Well done. Mary
