Melody caged, goes silent with clawed swipe. Cat naps, feathers float.

i would give a higher rank, but it doesn't follow 5-7-5 syllable restriction
but the content is very cool

clawed and caged are two syllables each chewie, not one.
Also haikus can be less then 17 syllables, according to any higher than 'intermediate' creative writing instructor.
