My sestina

On a sunny day, there lay a large paintball field

And on that warm field, there lay a small cat

Playing a different game of paintball.

And on a sunny day, inside a school

There was a calm teacher with a sweater vest

Looking out the window onto the kids playing football.

 

And out the window there lay a football

On the field that lay next to the paintball field.

And the teacher wearing the sweater vest

Turned his head to look at the cat

On the paintball field next to the school.

It was playing a different game of paintball.

 

As it was playing this new game of paintball

The kids on the field paused their game of football

To look over to the field next to the school.

(The paintball field.)

And they looked with large, cat-

Like eyes, as did the tense teacher with the sweater vest.

 

And the envious teacher in the sweater vest

Dreamed of playing the game of paintball

With eyes as wide as the cat.

And as the kids playing football

Were looking over at the paintball field

They completely forgot about the nearby school.

 

And in the forgotten school

The teacher had taken off his once-worn sweater vest

And hurried down to the paintball field

To play with the cat in their own game of paintball.

And the kids playing football

Hurried over to the cat.

 

The feline woke up from its cat

Nap and looked at the school

Then at the kids playing football.

It then saw the teacher who once wore the sweater vest

And they played the game of paintball together

On the warm little paintball field.

 

The teacher who once wore the sweater vest and the kids who once played football

Were all playing with the cat near the school

On the paintball field, playing their new game of paintball
