There is a lovely black cat up our road
with a beautiful shiny coat
I call him by his name "Jazz
and he runs down and cries
rolls over in the sun.
His lovely green eyes shining at me
as I stroke and talk to him
He loves to sit on top the cars
to keep warm in the winter
everyone adores this cat.
Will then jump down of the wall
into our garden
Sits on an old table
and watches me hang out the washing
This cat is special therapy to all
passing by
as young and old
children to
Bend low and talk to him!
Forgetting their worries and troubles
just for a minute and off they all go
***Now added 2011
Now central heatings all in
Updated from here ***
Jazz loves to come in
gets up on hubby's lap
he never liked cats
they are both asleep
I take a quick snap
Ray has taken to Jazz
suddenly Green Eyes
has got on the table
Layed out flat his
bottom on the computer
messed up all my letters
Maybe he is trying
Abc keys
Or going to be
a computer king
Now he has hung
over the edge of the table
With his claws stuck
in the cloth
Oh! dear I laugh and laugh
But the email just gone off
to the Editor (Tony) Cook
when I read it
sure it was gobble-de-gook
If I call Jazz to sit on the wall
he says "Miaow Miaow!
one cry for hello!
two for yes
and he did
To take a snap
smelling
the golden daffodils
I would love to see the cat Jazz
get the cherry!cherry!
for his owner
not a frog
Now the owner has said
ok! quick.
so I can read again
and knows Jazz is a special cat
but both growing old
yep;I am an O.A.P
just having a go!
all comments please
A wonderful email from Editor t.cook(Tony
Now quick yes, from the owner
ok! to read again?
all comments please!
Thankyou to t.Cook Editor of AbcTales Tony
and all the team.
If Tony or anyone can help with a punctuation,here and there,
be very pleased.
this I read out at Brighton's Got Talent on Saturday Feb:20th 2010.
one of the judges said "Did I write it"
"yes" I said"
the judge said he liked it very much,
I mentioned Abctales.
But judge said shame I hadn't learnt words but one couldn't
as now as I have done so many on here
over 90 miracle for me in a year nearly.
With no punctuation.
this was first put on June New then, 2009
I would love to see the cat "Jazz".
Get the cherry!
Not the frog,
for his proud owner?
I already have plastic oscar,cat mask and tail plus on screen group writing groups. etc: But not a cherry! and many thanks Edited John Wilks and
Editor T.cook (Tony)
As I discussed with owner copy of my poem before and asked permission from the owner now to do.
he would know as always "Jazz"
is a special cat to all
if not well or out,he peeps around the corner
Uni; now proved in paper that cat's miaows like a baby. mean different things.
cos; growing older like me
Need all punctuation please!
How do I re;put on without loosing previous
number of readings? and looks so ugly now Headings
bunged all up.?
How do I get this poem,to show up as a recent updated so one can read it now currently,without loosing readings,marvellous number carry on as a count.Please. I sit ok Editor t.cook (Tony)
Mentioned in Magazine 23 if not will delete ok.

True
"Green Eyes" Cat Poem is faithful
"Jazz "and I always tell him
beautiful cat,neighbour's never used to stroke, whisper
heal, even if not well I open door
there he his sitting waiting
his little paw lifts if I tickle
him softly, behind ear, or on top head gently,
how many times in life, do we all need hugs, kisses
relaxing, all stroke him. meows back to me.But I had
church where kiss of peace, and hug was given then,that is healing thing to. Iv'e done one on "Relaxation" because done it, and cd.tranquil music and had in past.

University has proved now cat's cries
like a baby in a way mean,all things.
Yes, he is special not mine.I have seen him to-day,I called his name I got three cries.Tell him he is beautiful and I haven't seen you.etc;No not barmy facts.Once I wore cat mask and tail,and read it difficult bristles whiskers etc;Think said writing day centre all tried somethings,and put on film etc;
It was so large screen embarrassing to see us all.
given plastic oscars and certificates,thrilled all had etc; Lots things happened since I talked to him.Friend of mine picked him up.cuddled once,hear it purring!
Have you read "Green Eyes" oh! I think you did.
It's for him.Hoping Friday if walking well!Go to
do and read it out from my copy, among other ones.As did recently at talent town.The judge liked it to.
Must read yours,and others.I am not a poet though.

thankyou comments,I am not jealous
of anything or anyone.So why is it confusing
it's all true.It's not our cat.I made poem up!
and of course ask permission of the owner if
I read it somewhere,or printed in paper of poet's corner.or maybe the Big issue then.Yes I am not
that young,but it's what one does now with life!
The only thing that's run a way is the "Wheelie Bin"
so made funny poem about it now on here!
Asking for comments and happenings to them is going well!
thanks.

Very simply and sweet and from the heart, words do not always matter if we write what makes us happy, I don't think we care too much what others think but it is nice when it also touches someone else too.

Thank you Lena this is perfectly true plus much much more happened a week ago, concerning Odeon Cinema and the writing group and others put on there, what we do. I had Publishing co. but paid all time. I am not poet or an Author, so I had done at least 2O stories, I tried and poems, as O.A.P to expensive keep up Pub; co. I only did 3. and on web. But groups we do Homeless, and books free all in maybe painting drawing acting dancing. Yes I returned wig? then saw Cat? mask. Recited Green Eyes young film men come and all shown May 23rd. In all adversity I get leaded by God. Love reading others works. and we have a host one year Joe Mangle x Neighbours then.and last year Chris Ellis X The Bill can't great person believe it's finishing now nice people meet and gave out all of us plastic oscars and certificates, very scary such huge screen.

Hi! I said to "Green Eyes" the other day Jazz
do come on the other wall,so I can get a full
photo of you,by the daffoldils,y goodness he did.
And a photo with both eyes looking at me.
I would like this to come top,where and when ever I am aloud to read it.

When you take a photo with a flash, say indoors. Why is it that a human's eyes come out red, and a dog's eyes come out green?

Nolan | April 8, 2010 - 17:37
My guess is it's the different lenses like the focal distance- refraction index and density of the (?) material itself and the cornea too. Must be.
The retina must play a role also. Is it a coincidence that dogs are colour blind (black & white only) and mostly humans not?
What determines the colour in the first place? That flash photo of your hubby. Look see it’s dead-centre it’s the pupil it’s not black it’s blood red! Like a devil almost. Does it happen only when you look straight at the camera? These red eyes are scary makes me think of vampires.
The question pops instantly! Experiment more with your flash out on your cat! Let's see if it's a "true green" (Maybe you don't even have a cat? Do you have a hamster? I mean you're sitting with sub-zero most of the year. Can a cat survive?) A cat has double eyelids have you noticed?
I don’t enjoy blue eyes myself. Phoney like popped an acid. Two sparrows cuddling together huffed up against the biting wind. That is beautiful like “of the earth”.
Yes I enjoy your company cheers Julie! &&

your so clever most is right I think.
But I know a cat has extra long distance sight etc;to see in the dark. No I don't go in for
anything in the vampires.No we don't have a cat.
Quite a few hear areas,but bit of siamese in it,
eyes always amber,but I like "Green Eyes" title
as it stands out.I am so pleased the local paper
Easter Monday, has printed my Oh! wheelie Bin. true.
free.no,if I press wrong buttons on his camera not such a clear photo.found comment re-I asked,
I see on here! "Green Eyes"
iT WAS A Joanna Lumley T.V. PROGRAMME
said,Cats have extra long vision seeing at night.
Don't catch all you have said.Sorry.
What tower it was high cliff.

Wow! Thankyou so much.
Lovely comment, he has just been outside,
I call running, came in looks around,and in
bedroom nods of on divan, on computer loud! miaow!
Beside me on the table sitting in front of computer,
think trying stop me typing! Or learning Abc like poem says, can't settle long, looks up at the door, be let out, on a blasting blowing wind, waiting his
master's car re-turning. Well I didn't think make the
magazine ever, far too long as added to it from year
first typed it. Well AbcTales states everyone has a story! Jazz joined in with all of us, in photos, even
birthday came two days later, so got daughter's card,
as he sat on (mine) his lap card said Mother ugh! love mum better, that's first time. Names? been lucky on horses etc. But you say done nothing interesting, you have given talent for story writing. Love Schubert The Cat. Seemed so true!
Manx cat's with no tail what a noise they make, when
small jumped out hedge. I must have over 50 snaps of him. But both getting old. I think forget but comes.
Milk is bad for them I hear. Love and attention! but
truly amazing cat. Oh! mu goodness there's a cry! looked two! cat's got him in, don't know who started it? Sound like a baby for help! I could see a Film
made of your's you know, whether fantasy or not!
This one one cry! one jump in between flowers.
Well I'm an old eccentric. But manage all this. he he! in all adversities. Life is never a bowl of cherries! is it. If can help, or say right thing be happy helps me.
I didn't even have an imagination! or sleep! thats enough! Another story never tell!

Hello! Wow! Thanks so much, to kind
been typing and adding since it was 1st
typed on, now added it is is AbcTales 23
not sure! If can should have done that,
all perfectly true! last three day's owner
heard wa away, shop mentioned to me, owing to
cries of cat fight, took him in, my word chair
was full up, three massive "Allo "Allo cries, jumped
right up in front computer, sure trying tell me, owner was away! now back have lots photos just for us.Took one outside shop, would you like, no got their own, quite amazed, not jealousy, but cat loves to chat in his cat cries, as I give hime love and affection, like him go where please,loves hide behind curtains look out window, shift all,and run
into bedroom lay curled on his duvet.Again call his name. "Jazz" Green eyes and he appears, playing hide-n-seek. Had put him out at night. Mine won't let him stay! But I would nnever talk him at one time!
Your Schubert the cat, would make a good film. I did
wear cat mask and plus a tail, for day centre, we all
did once, omg what! an achievement, but Editor t.cook
wanted reader's dare I reply,name came up something like "Cacklecader" had too laugh, definitley not me,asked by email it was. I did and read "The Wheatsheaf" 1st time. Magazine Edited by "John Wilks"
I couldn't believe! email,April and Editor t.cook (Tony)Give all permission to agree. Also my "Six Pennorth Of Chips" re-my pop, died, bit of hectic family life. Editor t.cook (Tony) helped so much, and advised. And "Green Eyes". too poem.2009 I used hate comments,how to answer in correct terms. Or maybe never answered couldn't some.
I don;t like way huge heading mine now, how it's come out?No not sent email to you, busy,most on here,
"Virgin" been off here, few days possible emails sent, not got through to who! One was The big issue, great news, I buy and staff day centre, put in and all.
Switched on t.v not knowing one, he does pastel paintings,great and a "Bengal Tiger" wanted one on T shirt. I did. okd not done yet!
There he was on t.v. news now someone I forgotten,name promoting his art great works, history of bad life!
and photo and story on news t.v. of HIS paintings, amazingly chalks done, I have seen too great gone into exhibition and Chichester too think, from times in prison couldn't sleep! other things, took chalks etc; and did.
No! reply could be be in next issue, or "Virgin" cut off! so I have seen him, congratulated him,and photoed his permission, attached all sent "The Big Issue" like they do. Hoping see him in, his uniform well new, waistcoat and ID badge. Big Issue soon.
Thanks like your stories.
Have good day. What do they say, life is what you make it, but some make it for you, load hiccups in!
take care "Jazz" group six quartet was fab:
