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








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.

The gilding of the Indian summer mellowed the pastures far and wide.
The russet woods stood ripe to be stript, but were yet full of leaf.
The purple of heath-bloom, faded but not withered, tinged the hills...
Fieldhead gardens bore the seal of gentle decay; ...
its time of flowers and even of fruit was over.

A retiring farmer in preparation for selling his land, needed to rid his farm of animals. So he went to every house in his town.

To the houses where the man is the boss, he gave a horse. To the houses where the woman is the boss, a chicken was given.

He got toward the end of the street and saw a couple outside gardening. "Who's the boss around here?" he asked.

"I am." said the man.

"I have a black horse and a brown horse," the farmer said, "which one would you like?"

The man thought for a minute and said, "The black one."

"No, no, no, get the brown one." the man's wife said.

"Here's your chicken." said the farmer.

In lieu of a poem, I have brought flowers for the Belv. God's poetry. :-)

Wishing my Poetry and Potpourri friends a nice FRiday and a relaxing weekend.

Thanks, but I can't take all the credit. I only brought the bears, our 'Finest' artist is responsible for the rest. :-)

Look for my daily message..


When we stand with Christ in glory
Looking o'er life's finished story,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know-
Not till then-how much I owe. -McCheyne
