The Poetry Branch has been in limbo since the prior hostess left FreeRepublic April 15th 2003. We've since learned that said hostess has lost her posting privilege. That being the case, and Jim Robinson having given his ok, I wanted to renew the thread.
FreeRepublic is blessed with many fine poets, and we look forward to seeing their poems posted on FR once again. There were many non-poet FReepers who visited the Poetry Branch for the camaraderie; we hope they will return.
I would like to invite everyone to visit and relax at Poetry and Potpourri. Hopefully you will renew old acquaintances for chatting, sharing jokes, telling stories, posting cartoons, etc. Everyone needs a place to escape from the everyday news, make Poetry and Potpourri that place.

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.
It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.
Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.
Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

A New World
by Alice Crowell Hoffman
Columbus found a new world
Because he dared to do
A thing that was unheard of-
A thing that was quite new.
Columbus found a new world
Because he made a start,
Instead of merely pond'ring o'er
The thoughts within his heart.
Columbus found a new world
Because he saw things through
And you can find your new world
Precisely that way, too.

Good Morning, Russ
I'm getting a late start again today; was wishing for a cup of hot coffee. When I saw that purple cup I knew that wishes do come true!
Ahhhh ....... Thank you.

Christopher Columbus
Meish Goldish
Christopher Columbus was one of a kind.
A way to the Indies he wanted to find.
People said, "Chris, you'll never succeed."
But he had a plan, he had a need.
Sailing from Spain was Chris' idea,
On the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
People said, "Chris, you'll fall off the earth."
But he followed his dream for all it was worth.
The year was 1492
When Columbus set off with an eager crew.
People said, "Chris, you'll never reach land."
But on he sailed, just as planned.
Two months later, an island was found.
There were Native Americans all around.
Chris and his crew began to explore
What the Indians discovered long before.
Chris didn't know the trip he led
Was not to the Indies, but America instead!
Even so, he gained such fame
That now the whole world knows his name!

The Santa Maria could hold a little more than 100 tuns (large barrels that literally weighed a ton when full). We know the original ship had five sails, a forecastle (later called a Fo'c'sle), a sterncastle, a main top (later called a crowsnest), and a cabin.
The Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria
Written by George Leon Pike, Sr. Copyright © 1995 by Betty M. Pike
The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria, sailed over the bounding sea, In search of the land, a brand new world, where all men could be free, They did not know what they would find, as they braved that bounding main, But guided safely by God's hand, they won fortune and fame.
Chorus: America, America, God shed His grace on thee, He crowned thy goods with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea, Oh, let's rejoice and praise His name, for blessings rich and rare, For all the fields of waving grain, and because our Savior cares.
They landed safely in the port, of a world so rich and rare, And there they knelt upon their knees, to worship God in prayer, To give all praise unto His name, oh how they worshipped Him, The wonderful God, everlasting one, who brought them safe thus far.

Hi Amy. Thanks for the Christopher Columbus poem. I remember, as a child, we celebrated Columbus Day in school with plays, "readings" etc. It's sad to see how today, many of the PC crowd, have nothing but contempt for him.
