Poetry and Potpourri .... September 29 - 30, 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.

Billie, Thanks for taking time to stop by this morning. Your contributions are so appreciated. I love that picture. I wonder if Flyer has seen it?

[JustAmy]

Welcome to Poetry and Potpourri, Freedom9.

Thank you for that nice poem. Hope you will visit often.

[JustAmy]

Maybe we can conjure up that small thing!!

[Calpernia]

>>>Hope you have time to relax and share a story or a poem today.

Relax? No. Have to run and pick up my son soon from PreK.

Poem? Ugh. Ok. I wrote this when I was 15 y.o. So be kind.

Today I sat thinking about the past and you

I saw you standing on a quiet beach with the sun in your hair

I ran towards you only to find an empty shore

Yesterday I lived on dreams

Today I live on memories

Today I sat thinking about the past and you...

***ducks to avoid tomatoes***

I wonder if Flyer has seen it?

I have now! Thanks for thinking about me and my Golden obsession.

Thanks ... It is much better than anything I could write, at 15 or even now being a little older. LOL

[JustAmy]

Good Morning, Flyer.

Anytime I see a Golden Retriever, I think of you. After the Holidays, I need to start thinking of a new dog. A Golden is on my list of breeds to consider.

I may only be the ethernet card Pips. That is an easy fix. Even the instructions in this link is more confusing than actually doing it. If you open up the box, you can see.

That would be a wonderful thing.
*chuckle*
Especially since it also has some drawings inside of it.

Good Morning, Meekie.

What ????? No coffee this morning?

Rut-Roh, Reorge ! I told Carl to make sure to serve coffee. I guess he forgot, hehe !

Have a cup while you FReep !

[Mama_Bear]

Amy, thanks again for opening up this room for us all to enjoy.

PapaBear, hasn't Amy made a comfortable place for us here? :-)

Good morning FRiends. Hugs all around. :-)

[Pippin]

Hi, (((Lori)))!

[Mama_Bear]

Oh, Billie, that is beautiful! You find the sweetest graphics and just the right words to go with them.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Pip. I read about your computer woes. So sorry. This doesn't look good, although, as Calpernia has said, it could be something fairly simple and inexpensive to fix. You might not have to replace the entire computer. I hope that is the case.

[JustAmy]

Since Carl got involved with that chick at the donut shop, we will fogive him ..... this time. LOL

[JustAmy]

Thanks, Mama_Bear .....

It's nice to have you and Papa_Bear drop in. Errrr .... how long you planning to stay?

Ogden Nash - The Dog

The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I've also found, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest.

[Mama_Bear]

Errrr .... how long you planning to stay?

Yikes! Have we worn out our welcome already? Are we getting bear fur on the furniture? LOL.

Kinda looks like those bears have settled in nicely, huh? ;-)
