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

To You Alone I Give the Key
Author: Shawn Mikula
I've tried so long and hard,
To make some sense of this,
Of what you mean to me.
But it's beyond all reason,
And words just don't mean much,
To explain what I feel and see.
They all falter beside the feeling,
That sends my mind reeling,
Of a single kiss or warm embrace.
It's so cold without you,
Hold me close if you don't mind,
I need your warmth, to see your face.
Let me gaze into your eyes,
Deep into those starry skies,
And cradle the tender soul that cries.
Come here, my beautiful angel,
Beyond all superficiality,
Please accept this love from me...
To you alone I give the key.
My heart is open wide,
Come here, come inside,
There's nothing left to hide.

HALLOWEEN MAGIC
A bald-headed ghost
Drank some witches' brew
And on top of his head
A strange thing grew.
It was pointed and tall
And black as a bat
With stringy long hair
Where his head was flat.
The sad little ghost
Didn't want any hair
Or a black pointed hat
So he said, "Witch beware!"
Then he chanted some words
With a spell-casting switch
And gave Halloween Night
A bald-headed witch!!

Adventure
To C.H.M.
A car, and a road,
And a hill to climb,
And a valley in which to roam,
I'll ask no more
Of God or man,
If only the road lead home.
A ship and a chart,
And a sea to cross
And a country beyond the main,
I'll ask no more
Of God or man,
If the ship reach home again.
A hope, and a dream,
And a life to live,
And a will to carry through,
I'll ask no more
Of God or man,
If it's Heaven, at last and you.

Cool! Let me try!
There was a young man
Named Dave
Who kept a dead whore
In a cave
It may be a sin
He said with a grin...
To: Aquamarine

I'm glad you liked "To You Alone I Give the Key".
I thought it was romantic and beautiful when I found it.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Nope, was down and out with network trouble for awhile.
Then I fell down the rabbit hole.
