Villanelle Nr.03 — Extreme Content

Creative minds can be quite bent,    
direct attention many ways ...    
the cat stretched out, extreme content    
    
and what the person really meant    
perception twists to suit its gaze:    
creative minds can be quite bent    
     
but sensing life as heaven sent    
propels you to a different phase.    
The cat stretched out, extreme content    
     
cared not if seen as insolent    
was happy just to “be”, and laze --    
creative minds can be quite bent    
     
and miss the point, the main event:    
it’s time to stop and re-appraise.    
The cat stretched out, extreme content    
     
and basking in its element    
let humans struggle on, half-crazed.    
Creative minds can be quite bent ...    
the cat stretched out, extreme content.
