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.

Thanks for pinging people to this thread.

I hope that all will see that it is intended as a fun, relaxing place to share jokes, poems, stories, etc.

Dear Just Amy,

I loved the original Poetry Branch a lot. It was my favorite thread on the FR.com.

I respect and admire Coteblanche very much.

I may not have the best relationship with all Freepers, but I am not leaving this place soon of my own volition.

I would like to see a place devoted to poetry and literature out here. In my view, a Neutral Zone is a very sound notion.

In my opinion, a poetry place should be devoid of personal animosities. I could learn a lot from a thread like that!

EV, I wrote this one just for you. :-)

There once was a state named California,
Whose gubernatorial field comprised a cornucopia,
From porn stars to Gary,
Even a huckster named Larry,
So wild they gave the Ninth Circuit recall-a-phobia.

btw, Xfan, those were great poems! I knew you'd like this place. :)

[MistyCA]

LOL! That's good, proud! California is on my list right now, and I don't mean my pinglist! :) Having spent most of my life there, I am happy to be off the treadmill and back into sanity!

[proud American in Canada]

Hi, Radix,
Glad to see you here. :)

"California is on my list right now, and I don't mean my pinglist!"

LOL! You know, I think the field of candidates is actually even bigger than your ping list!! ;)
