I thought your ping list might enjoy this. There is a long history of poetry on Free Republic.

The seminal thread was “Word for a Day” with Annie, but then Coteblanche opened the “Belvedere Room” and things really took off.

Unfortunately Coteblanche is gone and all the wonderful posts of that era have been removed from the FR server. If anyone knows how to contact her please tell me.

Then January24 opened the extraordinary “Kingsley Station” where the graphics were diminished and the words were everything. It is truly a wonderful collection.

And now you carry on - you are to be commended for such hard work.

Hello Neuromancer.

Sorry to tell you Coteblanche has been dead for several years now.

My poetry thread at FR, The Dragonflies Lair, has lived here for 5 years.

Kinsley Station is a sweet thread I posted there often years ago.

May Coteblanche rest in peace.

I do not remember the date but Coteblanche went to share her poetry with the Lord. I do not remember the date but I think it was about 3 years ago.

Thank you for your compliments. Hope you stop by for a visit.
