Poetry and Potpourri .... October 6-7, 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.

In my Maine Home

[Darksheare]

Welcome.
And thanks in return.

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for the flowers, Amy. I really wasn't asking for recognition for my part in this, even though that's probably what it looks like. LOL.

You have been doing all the work of posting and hostessing the thread, I don't feel that I should get any credit at all.

Anyway, I was glad to contribute, and I did have help from some of my FRiends. ;-)

You are doing a wonderful job.

[JustAmy]

There may be a few who wonder why St.Louie's name is at the top of this thread. Well ....... because he is my Hooligan Bro! Us Hooligans must stick together.



And also because he has contributed many hugs, lots of encouragement and plenty of artist advice.
Thanks ((((( Bro )))))

[ST.LOUIE1]

You forgot one. LOL

Hi, Sis!!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Thanks, Sis, you're too kind. Well, not really. LOL

Now take our doggie for a walk. : )

[JustAmy]

Thank you for bringing us your poem.
The heat is also on in California today but it will probably get hotter tomorrow.

Dump Davis!

May your neighbors respect you,
Troubles neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And Heaven accept you.
~~Irish Blessing~~

Hi Amy and all :-)

[JustAmy]

And I think I have one more .....



It's getting hot in California ..... TV ads, radio ads, telephone calls and mailbox full of political ads.
Wednesday morning will be time for a big bon fire.
Who will bring the marshmellows?

[JustAmy]

Thank you for sharing the Irish Blessing and also for that lovely picture!

It's so good to see you today, Colleen.

I hope it is alright if I post notification of a new site I have been working on. It is a Lord of the Rings parody site.

The Tower is where the Introduction and Comic will be kept, the Gate is Information Links.

I am hoping to put up the next installment soon.

[JustAmy]

Congratulations and Best Wishes on your new site.

We will be looking for additional info when the next installment is ready.

A law firm receptionist answered the phone the morning after the firm's senior partner had passed away unexpectedly.

"Is Mr. Smith there?", asked the client on the phone.

"I'm very sorry, but Mr. Smith passed away last night," the receptionist answered.

"Is Mr. Smith there?", repeated the client.

The receptionist was perplexed. "Perhaps you didn't understand me I'm afraid Mr. Smith passed away last night."

"Is Mr. Smith there?", asked the client again.

"Ma'am, do you understand what I'm saying?", said the exasperated receptionist. "Mr. Smith is DEAD!"

"I understand you perfectly," the client sighed. "I just can't hear it often enough."

LOL!!

[Billie]

Just love all those colorful birdies, Amy!

[JustAmy]

Omygosh ........ Why didn't you tell me Billie brought two more dogs over here?
Errr ... Maybe you can take all three for a walk.
