A/N: My first shot at poetry. Just a little silliness,
really. A sestina is a verse form in which the last word of each of
the first six lines repeat in ever-changing sequence over the next
verses and in one three-line endpiece. If you didn't understand that,
just read the thing. Then it'll make sense.

Cats Sestina
One by one they come out of the night
Sing their praises to the
feline
With their voices purring beauty
Bodies making sounds so
silken
Eyes are golden ember gems
The moon will listen to their
songs
Listen, you shall hear those songs
And those voices soft and
silken
Look, for you shall see the feline
If you squint into
the night
And feel taken by its beauty
You shall see the
star-like gems
And if your eyes grow sick of gems
If you find you're blind
from night
Then simply feel the words so silken
And hear the
echoes of the past songs
That told us all about the feline
And
never was there truer beauty
They shall dance their dance of beauty
And sing for you their
precious songs
Just lend your ear to darkest night
To guide
your way let shining gems
Lead you into darkness silken
Mere
noise will be voices feline
Have you heard the voices feline?
Have you seen the ember
gems?
Have you listened to the cat songs?
Have you ever known
such beauty?
They dance their dance in shrouds of night
They're
whispering words so silken
The moon allows its beams of silk
Caressing here this scene of
beauty
Illuminate the world with gems
The moon she knows the
ways of feline
She also wrote their famous songs
She walks with
Jellicles this night
She says "listen to my songs at night
The feline ways are
gems
To treasure, silken things of beauty."
