Splashing Fireworks

by Maisie Aletha Smikle

Like earthly stars

Fireworks lit the skies

Flashing in magnificent grandeur

Showing off Its beauty and its splendor

Like the colors of the rainbow

Sparks flew some violet blue

Swimming floating gliding

Like starry streams colliding

Joining in an ocean of air

Then spectacularly disappear

Sprinkling glows and glitters

Of shining starry litters

Glowing and hovering gracefully in the air

We sat on a chair

And watched and cheer

To behold fireworks so dear

Mystical magical elliptical

Burst of lights so hypnotical

Splendidly arrayed beams

Appear in glowing streams

Showers of light with its mist

Mystically disperse without a twist

As sporadic lights focus in a parabolic embrace

To disseminate in space

A precious sight and delight

It is to behold fireworks dark at night

And to glimpse the bright

And beautiful light

Oh such graceful outlay

Of lights in an array

Its beauty to portray

The fireworks on display”

 The Switch by Maisie Aletha Smikle

The day animals flip
Was the day humans trip
And humans switch
Without a twitch

And transform into beasts
And animals transform into humans making bread from yeast
From the north to the south from the west to the east
It was a grand feast

Animals churn butter and flour
Making dough every hour
Pounding and kneading
Humans come pleading

We have switched
Without a twitch
Now we are in a ditch
And won’t get rich

The animals knead and said
The planet you had from creation
Is a total malfunction
Everything is topsy turvy and out of function

You said you have gone to the moon
But you have driven families out of their cocoon
You are not civilized
To realize

This vast planet is a gifted loan
And not your own
You should have returned families to their cocoons
Cocoons that were theirs and not your own

You have no business on the moon
Mars Pluto Jupiter or Neptune
You were given one planet
Not two or three or infinite

The animals have taken over
Your time to rule is over
We will never drive a family from their cocoon
Or dare to go to the moon Mars Pluto Jupiter or Neptune

We have enough to do on planet earth
It's almost ruined to the dearth
We will reinstate clarity to its seat
And remove chaos from clarity's seat

Love
by Maisie Aletha Smikle  https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/10459372

Love is like a dove
Descending from above
Pure generous and genuine
Kind gentle patient and divine

Love knows no bounds
As it abounds
Love must be coupled with self control
Less it rolls out of control

Love is good and can never be bad
Unless you love what isn't good
Lovers of the good
Have withstood

Trials and tests
For love must persist
To conquer hate
And not abate or dissipate

Love is kind
And not unkind
Love is not blind
Love looks intuitively deep to find its kind

Love sees beyond the exterior
Love examines the interior
Love sees beyond pimples
Blemishes faults and wrinkles

Love is good
Love is not bad
Love hates evil
Evil hates love

Love and evil do not go hand in hand
Love good abstain from evil and do no wrong
Only love will stand the test of time
Patiently persevere kind and always on time

“Life is a Gift
by Maisie Aletha Smikle

Life is not strife
Put away the knife
Life is a gift
For both the fit and unfit

Don't dis it
And miss it
Don't step aside
To commit suicide

That is murder
Can't you tell
If you live you'll be put in a cell
If you die you'll go to hell

You want to be in heaven
But instead you're in hell
Hell on earth
The place of birth

Life is a gift don't dis it
Put away the gun
That's no fun
Go for a run or watch the sun

So you want to rush to heaven
Life on earth is hell
But instead you'll land in hell
For killing yourself well

They are bad
They make you sad
You are good and they are bad
Don't get it twisted and feel bad

Life is a gift
Don't dis it
And miss it
Live it…”

Spot
by Maisie Aletha Smikle   https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/10456087

Spot looks Dalmatian
And might even be a Martian
He likes to cuddle
And play in a puddle

Spot is polka dot
Cotton white and velvet black
Astute smooth and immaculate
Better than a box of chocolate

He cushions all
Before a fall
And stands tall
To catch a ball

At the cat Spot barks
When he goes for walks
Sniff sniff he detects a rat
He must get that

His nose to the ground
Tail wagging like a hound
His ears propped
And huge eyes popped

From the leash Spot dashed
In a twinkling flash
Like Tom and Jerry
Spot leapt in a hurry

He dug deep in the sand
Till he could stand
Sniff sniff the rat is gone
And Spot is worn and all forlorn

Spot needs a bone
And not sand stone
So back Spot went away from the pebbles
To catch some floating bubbles

Spot ate his bone
And sat on a stone
Gazing at the distant sun in the horizon
He mused for treats he could have a dozen”

  O My O My by Maisie Aletha  Smikle   https://www.goodreads.com/story/show/1297738

   

I dreamt of fries

Fries filled the skies

And rained from the cloud

Pounding rooftops rather loud

I ran

People ran

We all ran

To fill our can

O my o my

Fries are falling

The farmer comes calling

Wondering why buyers are stalling

This can't be the farmer says

It’s pouring heavenly spuds

He grabs a chair

To reach for a share

There'll be another year

When potatoes will bear

And buyers will want his spuds

Because there'll be no heavenly buds

There will be tater tots

For the pots

And cooked potatoes to mash

So there’ll be some cash

There’ll be potatoes to bake

To have with steak

Top that off with a cake

Not all is at stake

Add potato rolls

For munching on a stroll

My O my fries have arrived

Without a toll

Potato chips for a trip 

Snacks and some dip

Potatoes reign supreme

Teaming up with cream

Make potato wedges

For some edges

Tie a spud with a bandana

Potatoes have gone bananas
