Poetry and Potpourri .... October 22-23, 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.

Very.
Still, I can't help but wonder.
Why was it that I was the only one blushing?

Spookie is a very good photographer, and her kids are gorgeous.

Are you from Texas?

I'm happy you enjoyed the poems this morning.
I'm going to have to get busy this week-end and type more of my great-aunts poems about Texas and Oklahoma.
She lived all of her adult life in Clinton, Oklahoma but she, like me, had roots in Texas.

I never tire of seeing pictures of them.I took pictures of my now deceased Mother in the most gorgeous field and the pictures had too much light in them..even the fence had old wagon wheels in it to enhance the scene.I have seen many bluebonnets and this scene was special.

Not that I was aware of.
Besides, She wasn't in the habit of going topless in fron tof me.
As for the blushing, I don't know why I did.

I much appreciate all of these poems! BTW, my dad came from Butler, Oklahoma - just outside Clinton - and I still have family in the area.
