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.

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

You not only read it but also posted it to me. Does your wife know that you're spending too much time reading schlock? Unless, you are the jealous wife.

Oh ........ Thank you so much, Nan!!

Your good wishes mean a lot to me.
If I missed you on my original ping, it was not intentional. Please forgive me ...... JustFrank is very angry with me. He is threatening me with a wet noodle.

I'll go check my ping list and make sure you are there for future pings.

Considering mine has temporarily left due to a mild headache, look for it to be roaming on vacation.
I'm not sure my writ is...
..well, you've read my short stories.

My 'poetry' (drek!) is the same. ];-)
I'll be sifting through my stuff for less... morbid things.

Thanks for the ping. I'm trying to find something in my collection that isn't political.

I know I had something.....

Where did I put it?

Give me a couple of minutes.....

We have an amber alert in Iowa but I cannot post it because it was on the radio and I don't have a web link.

How about a work related poem?

We worked alone
from dusk til dawn
although I could barely see.
No one in the house
but me and the mouse
and the Cromemco Z2D.

No one was boss there.
The mouse wrote the software.
While I did the wiring and such.
The Z2D,
who was smartest of the three,
usually didn't do very much.

We worked at our task,
tho we never were fast,
our duties we never did shirk.
Til the mouse on the floor
let out with a roar
and the Z2D went berserk.

"Posting to each other with a wild surmise - silent, upon a thread on FR." A paraphrase. Thanks for the ping!
