Guilty or Innocent Part – 15
The following was written for a challenge called #SixSentenceStoryover at Denise’s. This week’s prompt word is “Thumb”.
My story is ongoing and I began writing it on March 18th. It is about a boy by the name of Pete Patterson. During a random locker check a bag of pot was found in Pete’s locker. If you’d like to read this from the beginning, it starts here.

While Jane waited for Emma to arrive at the coffee shop, she had a feeling that Emma would shed some light on this dilemma but couldn’t quite put her thumb on what exactly it would be.
Emma arrived, said hi to Jane, sat down, and ordered a tea.
Jane started the conversation getting right to the point, no need to pussyfoot around. “Do you have any idea why Principal Taylor is beating around the bush and needs to have your permission to discuss anything further with us?”
“Jane, I’ll be quite honest with you, over the last few years, Sam has been having behavioral problems and has just started therapy so that is the reason Mr. Taylor feels he needs permission from us to talk to you. I’m pretty sure it was Sam that planted the baggie of leaves in Pete’s locker, but he refuses to take responsibility for it.”
Continue on? I’ll let your guys decide.

Absolute Trust
Quarantined thoughts
Locked away to this day
Secrets I cannot tell
Entrusted by family and friends
Kept anchored away in my mind
till the very end

Hello
I wanted everyone to know where I’ve been for the past few days. I feel bad as I’ve not been around to do very much reading. I lost my wifi and I’m waiting for a new modem to arrive from Bell.
I managed to tether my phone to my laptop but … I can’t be doing that very often as it eats up the data.
I’m hoping to be back online soon.
Take care everyone and be safe!

Family of Squirrels
The following children’s poem was written in response to Crispina’s weekly challenge.
There’s a tree in the field where squirrels love to play
The trunk is partially hollowed out, come with me to see it today
I’ll introduce you to my friends
You’ll see that there are ten
A family of squirrels that all have names
They are friendly and quite tame
Mama likes to sit on my boot
She really is such hoot
Squirrel Daddy
Never treats anyone badly
Then there is Fuzzy whos never bathed
He was very stinky the other day
The eldest girls name is Pearly
and yes she is squirrely
Next, there are the twin’s Skippy and Slappy
They’re so much fun and always happy
A flying squirrel whose name is Rocky
His mama says he’s quite cocky
Another male, that’s quite burly
Due to his tail, his name is Curly
Abby is my favorite girl
She loves to whirl and twirl
The last of the ten is named Sandy
She’s always asking me for candy
Please come along with me today
Meet the squirrels who love to play
