Poetry and Potpourri ....... September 24, 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.

[Mama_Bear]

Oh........Thank you! How could it not be a good morning when I am greeted with flowers from my very most favorite wolf? - even if I am having to collect them off the floor. At first I thought you were throwing them at me. ;-) LOL!

And, just for that you get a smooooooooch on your cute fuzzy forehead.

Now, I need to run out for awhile. I'll be back. :-)

BEGINNING TO END.

It’s Spring,
I have been awakened
By the birds in the trees.
It’s early yet .
So I have plenty of time.

It’s time to watch,
To look and to see.
To learn what I am.
What I am meant to be.
It’s early yet
So I have plenty of time.

It’s Summer now,
I have been awakened
By the heat of the sun.
I guess There’s still
A lot to be done.

I’ll travel now,
In the summers warmth
To places as far
As my mind dare go.
It’s early yet,
So I have plenty of time.

Fall has arrived,
Much to my surprise.
I am feeling a slight chill
But my traveling to places
is not yet done.

There is still much to learn,
To see and to hear.
I have been in directions
I didn’t know you could go.
It’s early yet,
So I have plenty of time.

The Winter’s cold
I can feel on my neck
I think now I have done
What I was meant to do.

I pass now to others
What I have seen and heard.
It is what I am
And what I was meant to be.
It’s not early anymore
And I don’t have much time..

Would the beautiful Ms. BillieBlue like to reciprocate? : )

LOL! You're bringing out some of your old ones today! I'll play though. :)

[Billie]

So refreshing to see yet another side of that National Inquisitional Reporter, oh Sistah of the beautiful prose. :)

[MistyCA]

Awww....I love that one!

[Billie]

Oh, golly, Dan - you write, too? I'm a little misty-eyed now after reading first Dansy's and now this one. It really is nice to have this thread that one can feel comfortable posting things like this. Thank you for including my name in the 'address' line.

[Billie]

Thanks, Misty - I guess you're sewing again today - like you did yesterday? LOL

[MistyCA]

LOL! I really REALLY do have to do that, Billie!

[MistyCA]

That is beautiful.

Now, I need to run out for awhile. I'll be back. :-)

FLASH- I just received a call from JustAmy and she wants to notify all the posters on this thread that JustFrank has taken her captive and she will not be able to respond until he releases her from his vile captivity.

Just kidding

She wants everyone to know that she has lost power at her home ( she doesn't think justfrank had anything to do with it though) and that she expects to be back in fullswing around 4 or 4:30 pm today, per the electric power company.
