Poetry and Potpourri .... October 10-11-12, 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.

LOL!

I was quoting a line used by Rush's announcer on his radio program.

Having more fun than a Conservative is allowed to! :O)

What a fantastic poem you wrote for Jim! You are so good, Dansy. I still have your Bitterness in my mind from the first day. What a talent you have - hope you can share more as you have time. (((((((((((Dansy))))))))))))

That (((hug))) felt so good (((((Billie))))).

Thank you for the kind words. I have to be "moved" to write something. What I read yesterday in perusing FR and *other* places prompted me to write this.

GOOD FRIDAY MORNING!!!!!!

GUARDIAN TEDDY BEAR

I am your guardian teddy bear
I'm looking out for you
Just pull me close and hug me tight
whenever you feel blue.

Just tell me when you're feeling sad
I listen very well
Your hopes, your dreams, your troubles too
I promise not to tell

share with me all your secret thoughts
Don't hold back anything
Just know that I'll be by your side
Whatever life may bring.

You are a very precious friend
your special as can be
nobody else is quite like you
And I should know, you see.

Because I am a teddy bear
And teddy bears are wise
We watch and learn our whole lives through
We're Einstein's in disguise.

So let me give you some advise
Always stand proud and tall
Be thankful for your special gifts
Because you have it all.
And I'll keep looking out for you
Just know that I am there
I am your biggest fan, you know
Cause I'm your teddy bear."

Sorry I haven't been around much. I hope you are all doing well. I also hope that today's contribution makes up for my absence:

Nothing can make up for *your* absence, dear. : )

JimRob

Excellent poem though. And so true. : )

I brought your post from yesterday over here. : )

For kicks, I went to an 'old' poetry thread and must say that even though the purple background and a couple of the opening graphics are the same, you've improved on the design and layout so much - it's much prettier now than in the beginning! Kudos to you all for making it better than ever.

Thank you! We had great fun doing it. Mama_Bear did most of it. That's why it's "much prettier". Other than *you* she's one of the best at layouts. : )
