Heehee, siblings can be so weird

Excellent content, but I'm afraid I am something of a poetry purist, and however offbeat a poem may be, flow and structure (rather than rhyme or polish) are the things that sustain me to the end. I felt this lacked the real attention you wanted to pay to the content. Had it been written as a story on a short story website I imagine (no, make that KNOW) I would have adored every word.

Me, I told my little sister that cats turn into bats at night, which is why they sound so similar. And she was terrified of bats. And then, naturally, of cats! Of course, this backfired the first time she saw a cat at night and questioned our mother!

I liked the humor in it but I think you could put it together again with more attention to the structure and it would be a really good poem. Its real easy to edit, I do it all the time.
