Lying in the dust,
the languid tomcat ignores
screaming mockingbirds.

suburban yards
mockingbird imitates
lawnmowers' whine

*bows low*

Resting in silence
is that highest of honors:
awe at mastery.

You're too gallant--when *you* are a master.

I really, really loved your sestina in Ideomancer. It was just beautiful, both the language and the story in the poem, too. Wonderful.
