.................................................................

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.

If you would like to be added to the Poetry and Potpourri ping list, I would love to have you! If you would like to be removed, let me know via FReepMail, I will do so immediately.

In Autumn
Fannie Montgomery

They're coming down in showers,
The leaves all gold and red;
They're covering the little flowers,
And tucking them in bed.
They've spread a fairy carpet
All up and down the street;
And when we skip along to school,
They rustle 'neath our feet.

At last--Today's your Special Day!
The World all stops to shout hooray!
We wish you peace and joy and fun
Today you're the exalted one.
So have a drink or a cigar,
Go to the beach or buy a car.
And cut a piece of chocolate cake
Just after a big juicy steak.
And everywhere you go today
The crowds will part, as people say,
"Oh bliss, oh glee, oh happy whirl!"
And thrill to see the birthday girl!
So dance and sing and have a ball!
A Happy Birthday from us all!
