What Kitten Sees

by Liana Mahoney

Twinkling stars in skies of green, (1)

Sparkling heavens, jeweled scene. (2)

Drips of silver glimmer bright, (3)

Wondrous streams of glowing light.   (4)

Angels floating - haloed heads; (5)

Clouds of glass in blues and reds. (6)

Now I know what kitten sees, (7)

From underneath the Christmas tree! (8)
