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

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.

Good morning, (((AMY)))!

That hug is needed today!

My sister and brother in law came over to look at my pc to see what kind of modem to get for it. But foud out that my pc was a victim of Isobel! UGH!

I didn't realize my pc was a goner because I had never turned it on since July when the modem went out. I guess when we had that power outage due to the hurricane was when the pc went. Now I have to work on getting a new computer!

[JustAmy]

Ahhhhh ...... Thank You!!

I was looking for that lovely cup of coffee this morning.

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Temple. Love that sunny disposition.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Good Morning, Darksheare! How is your morning. Did you find your notepad?

[JustAmy]

Bummer ..... hope you are able to get a new pc soon. Miss seeing you around the threads. Hugs.

If I could use words
Like falling leaves
What a bonfire
My poems would make!

Mornin' Amy and Company.
"Woof" backatcha.
Here's a contribution to the potpourri side of the ledger...

After the honeymoon

A young couple got married and went on their honeymoon. When they got
back, the bride immediately called her mother.

"Well," said her mother, "so how was the honeymoon?"

"Oh, mama," she replied, "The honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic..."

Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, mama, as soon as we returned, Sam
started using the most horrible language - - things I'd never heard
before! ... I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to
come
take me home, ... PLEASE MAMA!"

"Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "Calm down! You need to stay with
your
husband and work this out. Now, tell me, what could be so awful?

"Please don't make me tell you, mama," wept the daughter, "They're just
too awful! COME GET ME, PLEASE!!"

"Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your
mother
these horrible 4-letter words!"

Still sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, Mama..., he used words like: dust,
wash, iron, cook..."

"I'll pick you up in twenty minutes," said the mother.

[Darksheare]

Not yet, and not a clue where it went to.
It's drivin gme up the wall.
I realise it IS,after all, a small 3 x 5 spiralbound notepad and this isn't all that large.
But where could such a thing disappear to?

[JustAmy]

LOL

Thanks, Dave; That's a great one. I'll be smiling all day as I think of those four letter words! (Notice I did not say tackle those words)

[JustAmy]

Good Morning. Aqua!!

Do you have any music you could share with us this morning?

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Calpernia.

Happy to see you here at Poetry and Potpourri this morning. Hope you have time to relax and share a story or a poem today.

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Girl!!

How was the City?
I'm glad that you are enjoying the thread. I let JustFrank out of the toolshed for a couple of hours Saturday; it's nice to know that he didn't kill this thread. You never know about him. LOL
