Poetry and Potpourri ........ September 22, 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.

You are very welcome. The wolf (Louie) doesn't bite very hard. I hope you enjoy your visits here! :)

No spring, nor summer beauty hath such grace As I have seen in one autumnal face;

—John Donne (1572–1631) "Elegy IX: The Autumnal"

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN!!!!!

You sure have a flair for poetry Misty. :-)

Hi everyone!

Please excuse the mass ping - I'm only in for a minute. Gotta get ready to take my son to a CPR class. Be back this evening.

[MistyCA]

Once upon a nursery rhyme

Way back before my time

Furry bears were sewn of fur

In tiny arms they began to stir

Moms would put them in the cribs

Grandmas would sew them on little bibs

Toddlers carried them by their noses

They sat them down in crazy poses

Grown up now with babes of my own

A ton of little bears I have sewn

Proudly placing each little bow

So a little bear each child will know.

[MistyCA]

Thanks, Sassy! What a beautiful picture! :)

[Jen]

Coffee now being served in the dining car...

Fill 'er up, please!

Hi Dave. I missed saying hello to you in my mass ping, so you get a special individual hello!

HELLO!!!!

[Darksheare]

CPR class.
Ugh.
Good luck.

[Jen]

These are roses from my garden that I shot with a digital camera. There is a bloom for each of you. Enjoy!

[Jen]

That picture is hillarious. Gotta send it to some buds who will appreciate it. Thanks for posting it Meekie.

[MistyCA]

Wow, Jen! You have a flair of your own! They are gorgeous! Thanks!!!!

[MistyCA]

That photo is so awesome, with the dew and all, that I can smell those roses! :)

[MistyCA]

LOL! My husband wants me to send my little bear poem to Hallmark! I think I will just put it in a frame for each of the little Grandbabys, along with a hand-made furry little bear, of course. :)

[SassyMom]

Thanks for the roses, Jen. They are BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[MistyCA]
