Notes About The Poem
Cats have a pupil that is vertically shaped that helps them in night vision..It can look scary because it is different..Chatoyant means changing in luster or light..Displaying a band of light reflected off inclusions of other minerals like the way a diamond reflects light..
Are You Brave
The cats' chatoyant eyes reflected fear
As the darkness of night penetrated
Everything, even small lamp that's near
The fear grew as the dogs snarled and hated
The dark fog shrouded woods did not draw one
Come, come into this inviting dark place
Sit stay no these woods say run quickly son
Drawn adventurous person to this space
Where cat's chatoyant eyes reflected fear
Noises from screech owls, coyotes, and bobcats
Rule the night with the dark woods very near
Drawn called come here to where flight of bats
Stirs the cool damp night's air and shadows creep
Filled with eyes, sounds, stirrings of animals
And menacing things, sounds of peeps, stirring feet
Only brave can enter for this could be fatal
Well, are you brave?
