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

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.

Awwww.....Gee, Dave! OK. I will behave! Sort of. :)

[MistyCA]

I think it's your fault anyhow! Had you not taken your nap, I probably wouldn't have gotten myself lost in that timewarp! :) lol

[Mama_Bear]

Hope your day is wonderful!

Thanks, Misty. It has been. This is a beautiful time of year in the central valley.

I almost missed your reply because my notify page doesn't notify me when people reply to me on this thread. Guess I need to remember to check my comments page more often. I wouldn't want anyone to think I am ignoring them.

[MistyCA]

I know exactly what you mean. I often miss my pings because they get lost in all the other posts. No problem. :)

God's Jealousy
Listen friends and mark my words in this moment and this hour.
God is jealous for his name for his name is jealous.
Nor is this a charming flower to set before a man
Nor one of his commands. Yet without Jesus
this is more than we can love as we desire peace
and less than we can know as we desire joy.
For the sacred fire that makes us liars
I mean that seperates speach from dreams
and seperates our flesh from the future
is God's power manifested.
So in the year and the hour for his sake
invest your desire in Jesus.
Follow his holy fire
For right now right now he intercedes for us in heaven.
Some will say we are people of the way
We are people of the way.
We praise his private, personal, holy name Yahweh and say
thank you, Jesus, for your precious blood
better so much better than the blood of Abel.

Well, we got lost in the timewarp.

Uhhh...a Desoto just drove by..

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you for adding those gorgeous autumn pix to my poem. ((Billie)) It would make a very nice greeting card now, it's that pretty.

Wispy willows swaying in the breeze;
puffy white clouds floating above the trees.

A butterfly meandering aimlessly;
the sound of the waves rolling on the sea.

The sweet scent of flowers on a spring day;
watching laughing children as they play.

These simple pleasures, my friend so true;
I want to share them all with you.

[okimhere]

La da da......lada da da dah...........thanks for the tune!

[MistyCA]

LOL!

[Darksheare]

Thanks.

[MistyCA]

LOL. The cootie bugs got bored waiting for me to finish my poem. :)

There's a guy around teh corner from me, has a 1932 roadster.
Not sure who made it, haven't asked.

[MistyCA]

Really? those old roadsters are neat!

[JustAmy]

OOOOPS .....

I do not know who the author is on post #212, but it most certainly isn't me.

I just found a poem that I liked and after saving it could not find it again for the author. Woe is me!!

[Darksheare]

Yeah, it is.
It's primer grey at the moment, he's been trying to piece it back together for awhile.
Two years ago it didn't have a hood cowling.
And last year it tossed linkage or something like that.
This year, it gummed up it's carb somehow.

Once he got it put back together after that, he laughed like a pirate king and took a small stroll with the car around the area.
