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

I think I have relatives all over Texas. My father was born in Jacksboro. (Jack County) My Mother was born in Wheeler (in the Panhandle). My paternal grandparents moved to Wheeler and that is where my father was raised. He and my Mother were married in Wheeler.
I have relatives from Dallas to the Oklahoma border. My relatives on both sides were in Texas in the late 1800's. My maternal greatgrandparents were married in Fannin County in 1888.
Guess I'm a Californian with deep, deep Texas roots.

Evening friends!
Hi Amy, how are you doing?
Misty and Jen, where did you guys go?
When I have fears that I may cease to be
WHEN I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charact'ry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love!-then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
-- John Keats
