Poetry and Potpourri ..... September 26, 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.

Not sure.
I haven't located the source of the disturbance yet.

[MistyCA]

Well, you better discover the source soon............

[Billie]

Can I add the beautiful autumn pic to your poem that you asked for? :)
May the soft Autumn breeze
Carry peace, love and joy to your door
And may anything "other"
Pass by to return nevermore.

#167 was a duplicate post of mine - I asked for it to be deleted. :)

[MistyCA]

Billie, those scenes are fabulous. Everything is real green here now. I suspect the falling leaves and changing colors will be getting to us soon.

[Darksheare]

Everytime I ask for a duplicate post of mine to be deleted, they leave it up!
(They're picking on me.. I can tell.)
*chuckle*
Now I'm jealous.

Misty, source of mystery and possible warp is found.
Reverting to normal reality.
UNless things get surreal again. ;-)

[MistyCA]

Thanks. I was thinking that might be the case. :)

[MistyCA]

I don't know, but I seem to have warped into some sort of oddity.....

[Billie]

Thanks, Misty - I wish I had added okimhere's name to the poem at the bottom, but hopefully those reading will realize the poem is hers - I just did the graphic.

Must go for a while.

DS - do you say "please" when you ask for a double post to be deleted? LOL! Please, pretty please, with sugar on top. :)

[MistyCA]

OMG....this is weird, Dark! What have you gotten me into?

[Darksheare]

Yes, and it was almost like they chuckled and left it up to be funny.
(Usually, it is..)

[Darksheare]

Uh oh.
Looks like we're stuck on an alternate siding of the thread.
Quick, cross postification might work!
Post something weird, maybe that'll snap us back!

[MistyCA]

I hope so! I can't take this anymore!

[JustAmy]

Hello again ..... After making grilled cheese sandwiches for Mama_Bear and myself, I sat down with the niece and fell fast asleep.
It's time I got back to business....

[JustAmy]

For the two of you!!

Everyone has a photographic memory
Some forgot the film

[MistyCA]

Glad to see you back.

[Darksheare]

Things SHOULD be back to normal now!
Should...
*chuckle*

[MistyCA]

LMAO!

[Mama_Bear]

....it's a perfectly inspiring autumn post.

That's what I thought when I came upon it. I like poetry that expresses how I feel, and that poem describes exactly how I hope people will perceive me as I grow old, because that's the way I want my golden years to be.

How I wish I could write like that!

It is a pleasure meeting you, okimhere. I am so pleased that you found us.
