Poetry and Potpourri ........ September 22, 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.

:) You are welcome. Consider it done and don't hesitate to visit everyone here when the day gets weary and you need a laugh or two.

There once was a poet named misty,
who pinged with poetry thisly,
her meter was fine,
her prose divine,
made all eyes who read it move briskly!

Hi mtngrl! I love those things! I have a couple of books full of them. It took me ages before I finally could see into the pictures, but once I did it was amazing to finally see the depth and dimension in the design. My husband has an awful time with them. I would tell him "it's a dolphin, (or an elephant, or a rose) can't you see it?", his frustration finally got the best of him and he gave up.

I am out of practice, but I will work on this one until I can see it.

SAME OLD NEW MEXICO

At times the moon reveals herself
In daylight's deep blue sky
And beckons lovers break their gaze
To see her sailing by

Across the desert distance
On rocky canyon walls
The dancing forms of fire and stars
Leap as darkness falls

But the Spirit's built a sanctuary
Of sandstone for my start
The moon and fire and stars are free
Of this pueblo in my heart
