Poem to my cats

[Kazz]

My two cats are getting on now they are both in their 20's Oscar and Cleo and today I sat and wrote this for them as I can't think where the years have gone.

I remember the first day you came you could fit in my hand

I remember the first time you hunted for mice in preference to canned

I remember the days you tried to remain aloof

I remember the days when you got stuck on the roof

I remember the nights you purred me to sleep

I remember the days you played with my feet

I remember our “talks” as we sat in the sun

I remember our days as you stalked me for fun

I remember the times you pretended to hide

I remember the times you sat by my side

I remember the times your "food" tried run

I remember the days with a mouse on the run

I remember your call

I’ll remember it all

Dedicated to cats and their people everywhere

Hi Kazz, that's brilliant! My eldest is eighteen and it rings so true! Where have all the years gone..........

[Mags]

That is beautiful Kazz and easy to relate to!
Let's have more poems!!

Nice to see you back here again - don't leave it too long next time :wink:

[Fran]

Yes, more poems please Kazz!

[Kazz]

Thanks all.

And I must say I rarely write poems the last was for my dog Gyp - who we lost younger than we should have due to illness.

[Mags]

We'd still like to hear a doggie poem Kazz, if you can remember it.

[Fran]

You ought to write them more often kazz, you are very good

[Mags]

I wish I had a talent like that :(

[Kazz]

I have no talent.

I will try to recall the doggie one.

[Mags]

Don't kid yourself Kazz - not many could come up with something like that.

[Kazz]

Got it

You are only a room away
But I cannot find the door
You are only a whistle away
But I cannot whistle loud enough
You are only a dream away
But I cannot sleep yet
You are only a turn away
But I cannot turn fast enough
You are only a heart beat away
And in my heart you’ll always stay

[Fran]

Absolutely Mags. Don't put yourself down. That poem was brilliant! More please!!!!

[Mags]

Wow!!! That's brilliant!!

We'll have to get Azz to put a poems thread on here next!

If you've got anymore tucked away Kazz...... :lol:

[Fran]

You are a natural Kazz! Keep them coming. They are so poignant but so easy to relate to :-)

[Kazz]

You can have this one if you like

You came in the spring
You grew in the summer
You captured my heart
Like there was no other
You caught sunlight and stars
You barked in the moonlight
You returned our love
You became our life
You grew old in the autumn
In the winter you left.

Gypsy my daffodil dog.

[Fran]

Kazz that has sent shivers down my spine. You really are talented. That was lovely

[Mags]

:cry:

Awww that is so touching!

Does it take long to compose something like that?

[Kazz]

Thanks I don;t think its talent though - maybe love.

[Kazz]

Hi None of them took more than 5 minutes

[Mags]

:shock: :shock:

[Fran]

Is that all :shock: Blimey don't think I could have written them if I'd have thought about it all night :lol:

[Kazz]

Honestly I think of the animals and they just come to me. Honest

[Kazz]

You can just look at your cat and the words just come. :-D

[Mags]

I just wouldn't know where to start!

[Fran]

:? Me too Mags!

[Mags]

'once upon a time' doesn't seem quite right does it? :roll:

[Kazz]

They call me Tiger
They call me cat
They call me puss
But I can live with that

They call me loudly
They call me now
They call me in
But I want to stay out

[Kazz]

There you go 5 minutes or less

[Mags]

Blimey Kazz, you didn't just make that up did you?? :shock:

[Kazz]

Okay start a joint poem do a verse/line each

Who will start?

Karen

[Kazz]

Yep. Told you I had only ever written the one today for the cats and the two for my dog

[Fran]

:shock: :shock: :shock:

[Mags]

:lol: :lol: :lol: YOU WILL!!

[Fran]

You start Kazz

[Kazz]

The black and white cat
Walked through the streets

[Mags]

Now if you hadn't put that second line in, I could have said 'sat on the mat'! :-D

[Fran]

:-D @ Mags



A long the way a dog it meets

[Fran]

C'mon Mags Your turn!

[Kazz]

Come on then

[Mags]

Ummmmm

'she didn't know where she was going'

[Kazz]

The black and white cat
Walks through the streets
She didn't know where she was going
Along the way a dog she meets

[Mags]

[QUOTE="Kazz"]The black and white cat

She didn't know where she was going
Along the way a dog she meets
While a gale force wind was blowing!

[Fran]

Ermmm not quite as good as the ones you do yourself Kazz :? I think Mags and I need a little training :lol:

[Fran]

Hey Hey Mags your getting the hang of it already!!!

[Kazz]

You are getting the hang of it.

[Fran]

Kazz, it's been great fun tonight. You must join us more often :-)

[Kazz]

Thanks for that

I will pop on sooner rather than later and one to go with

The night is young
My eyes are old
The clock is ticking
My cocoa is cold

[Moli]

You are clever Kazz, they are lovely poems, wish I was that good with words....

[Abbi]

They are wicked, I love the first one, really really nice.

[Mags]

Will you join our poets corner Abbi......no-one can be worse than us but we aim to improve!!

Kazz is brilliant at it, isn't she?

[Mags]

Thanks for that

I will pop on sooner rather than later and one to go with

The night is young
My eyes are old
The clock is ticking
My cocoa is cold

I go to bed,
Switch off the light,
My prayers are said,
Hope bed bugs don't bite!

Hmph! Whose next, this is fun!! :lol:

[Fran]

Wow Mags, you really have got the hang of it !!


I'll have a think and see what I can do, might take me a month or two 'tho lol

[Mags]

Have a go PK, you may have hidden talents you haven't discovered yet!! :lol:

[Kazz]

[Kazz]

Hi Smudgley - listened to Danny Kelly today?

[smudgley]

No I didn't today - I had someone out with me observing my work, so couldn't listen to him. :(

Hey - I had my text read out on Adrians breakfast show today about 7.15ish. :-D

Were you tuned in then?

[Kazz]

Very good. :-D

:lol: sounds like we have a celebrity amongst us!

[Fran]

Here you go Mags...

There once was a dog name of Dot
She had a big spot on her bot
She tried everyday to wash it away
But just got herself tied in knots!


:? Don't think I'll start looking for a publisher just yet :lol:

[Mags]

:lol: That's brilliant PK, a lot better than my pathetic effort!

Keep this up and Kazz will start getting worried about the opposition!! :lol:

Come on everyone, put your thinking caps on! :-D

[Fran]

Yours was brilliant Mags!! I'm waiting for the next rendition you are preparing for us.....

[Mags]

That'll take a lot longer coming - can't overtax the brain too much! :-D
