Maggie and the Islands

Inside my niece's home Are many small carpets These are called islands In between are shinny floors Maggie finds them slippery To get around the house Maggie jumps from one spot to another Doing this to get across the rooms When she feels she ..is not able She will bark, bark, bark, bark For some attention from anyone To carry her across the living-room This goes on all day long All through the evening to She is scared of shinning floors Her reasoning, she will slide So she avoids the floors My bedroom has no islands Maggie never enters inside my room

Hello Paul, your right Maggie won't enter my bedroom either because of the floor. It was funny to watch Maggie jumping from one carpet to another.

Your poem falls within the category of whimsical, fanciful and imaginative; armed with an energy of its own that propels it into our sphere of reality. Emile.
