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.

Hi Misty. It's great to see you. Pray all is well with you and yours.

I will try to remember to pop in every so often and post one of my son's poems. His poetry is sometimes off the wall, but good.

IGNORANCE AND APATHY

Ignorance and apathy,
What a harmonious pair,
Leaving you with no appetite,
Just a long and drawn out stare.

What a way to fantasize,
The world's what you believe.
Ignorance and apathy,
Why would you want to leave?

Lie awake and wonder
All about the world,
But don't unwrap the knowledge
Or question what's unfurled.

Ignorance and apathy,
What a boring pair.
I would find something better,
But I don't know and I don't care. C.B.Lee

Got any Precious Moments graphics, because then you will have hit the schlock trifecta!

Hiya Louie and all you other fine folks! Amy, good job on the thread. Hope all is well with all of you!!!

Thank you for posting the "Autumn" poem. It describes my favorite season.

[Bigg Red]

Very nice. Thanks, Misty.

Hey, Finest FReepers, did you see Amy's newest venture? Hard to know who was pinged and who wasn't, cuz she didn't have the Finest ping list, and others have pinged some on their lists, too. It's a fun place - come see!

[rmmcdaniell]

Come and join JustAmy at her new Poetry and Potpourri thread! My apologies to anyone who recieved a ping more than once to this thread.

Hi Nan, it's nice to see ya! Hope you're having a great day! Sassy says HI too!!!

[Big Mike]

Mike, you might enjoy stopping by here, looks like a nice place to share some poetry and prose or a joke or two.

Thank you, Velvet. This looks like a very nice place to visit. I just may give up my lurk mode. In fact, this is my first post to any thread. :)

Hello to you, JustAmy. Much success with your new thread. :)

[kneezles]

Hiya Jen! Please keep Sassy and I in your prayers tonight as we are going to the pastors house to watch football!

[Jen]

"...going to the pastors house to watch football!"

Uh oh! Do you think you can keep yourself under control?? ;-)

Well... since you are rooting for the Raiders' opponents, I'll keep you in my prayers. (I hate the Raiders! Grrrrrr!!) Have fun. {{{hugs}}} to you and Sassy

[Jen]

...this is my first post to any thread. :)

WELCOME Big Mike! Posting is sooooooo much better than just lurking. And you picked a great thread to make your posting debut. Nice to meet you.

[WVNan]

Hi kneezles and Sassy. I miss you guys. This thread feels sort of like homecoming. Pray that all is well with you.

[SassyMom]

All is terrific with us. This thread does feel like homecoming. How have you been? We've missed you too. It just seems that life and business get in the way of our FR time.....boo hoo.....sniff. :) God bless you, my friend.

[Big Mike]

WELCOME Big Mike! Posting is sooooooo much better than just lurking. And you picked a great thread to make your posting debut. Nice to meet you.

Why, thank you, Jen, really appreciate it.

I'll try and do better about posting. This is a really neat place! A little of everything. :)

[WVNan]

Welcome out of lurkdom Mike.

[WVNan]

I'm better than fine Sassy, but like you I stay so involved with so many things I meet myself going in circles.

I dabble in animation, but there are several sites on the internet where you can find things too. Google up "cartoon dolls" or dollz. There are several types. www.dollzmania.com is a fun site too. So is the dollpalace.com. You just have to hunt around.

[Jen]

Your dollz are so cute! I wish I had your animation skills.
