Poetry and Potpourri .... October 15-16, 2003

.................................................................

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.

Good Morning, Meekie!
Please tell Carl to keep the refills coming.
It's starting to get downright chilly in the mornings.
May be forced to close the windows at night.

[JustAmy]

Cal,

[MeekOneGOP]

Yep ! CarlsbadCaveman will take care of everyone on refills, you bet !

Yeah, a bit chilly this morning here too ! It was 54 early this morning when we went to Bally's for our workout. On the way back, it was 51. That's probably the coolest we've had here since March or April I'd guess.

It sez 63 degrees right now ...

Please
Please hear me
I've been crying for so long
And now the walls echo
with a hundred thousand moans
You don't know I'm gone
You left me all alone
Isn't Someone listening?
Even though you've gone on
I still cry for you outloud
But even when you are next to me
I'm all alone
Isn't Someone listening?
Please
Please hear me
I've been walking for so long
And now the path has grown dark
and the mists have covered the ground
There's no-one with me
I wander this alone
Isn't Someone listening?
Even though you've gone on
I still cry for you outloud
But even when you are next to me
I'm all alone
Isn't Someone listening?

Hi Amy. I don't have time to search down a poem today, but since I have been scarce around here lately, I thought I had better come by and say hello, before you forget who I am. LOL.

Hope all is well in your world. :-)

I brought some flowers for the Belvedere.

[JustAmy]

Thanks for the lovely poem, Darks.

[Darksheare]

Welcome.
You really think it's nice?
Thanks!

Hi lovely hostesses and wolfie. Sorry I am just stopping in. Busy work day and working on tomorrow's thread for the Finest.... Thanks for this lovely thread Amy. Methinks people are off celebrating another fabulous Freeperthon OVER THE TOP! Freepers ARE the best!

[JustAmy]

The flowers are lovely, Lori. Hope you find time to come back later.

Did you watch the President's speech from Fresno?
I'm hoping someone posts a thread about the protest and counter protest.


Part II
I've come back to finish this ..... had to go out and watch Air Force I. It appeared to be about 5 miles east of here. You could see it fine with the naked eye but Leonard had the binoculars on it.

Talk to you later.

[dutchess]

Wow darksheare...you say a lot in that poem... I am a "former" counselor and one who used to write "my thoughts"...Very moving...

[JustAmy]

Two confirmed bachelors sat talking. Their conversation drifted from politics to cooking. "I got a cookbook for Christmas once," said the first, "but I could never do anything with it."

"Too much fancy cooking in it, eh?" asked the second.

"You said it. Every one of the recipes began the same way - 'Take a clean dish and....'"

[MEG33]

LOL.

[MEG33]

Very moving,Darksheare.
