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

What beautiful photos in "My Comments" - one right after the other! Jen, that is a beautiful setting - so peaceful-looking - all we need is a picnic basket to go with it. :)
Love your sailboat and 'friends' verse, Colleen. I usually take the weekend 'off' from posting - just check and answer mail, but found posts at the Finest that I wanted to answer, and couldn't resist P&P either. :) Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon, ALL.
