Cat's Eyes

Globes of amber, sky-blue, sage,
what they’re thinking, one cannot gauge

In sunlight, marbled crescents glow, 
snake-like, rodent’s worst of foes

Evening’s dusk, hunting hour, 
Pupils black, their depths devour

Sleepy, languid, hypnotizing, 
Curious, cunning, and conniving

Twin moons, dark illuminates
Cat’s eyes always captivate

I've always had an affinity with our feline friends...they are fascinating and formidable creatures. Thanks Jan, for your input.
