The word "potpourri" means "container of things that can be poured out," usually a mixture of small things, such as a potpourri of flowers or a potpourri of mixed beans. I first used the label for my file of segmented parts of my own illustrations, such as skies or heads, which might be re-usable in other of my images. Afterward, I used it to mean my mixed bag of works for my blog. -Roberta

This one I placed in the "comments" section of the online Journal "Tinywords."

Title: WEEKEND HYMNAL AT GROUP HOUSE
Cook riffles pages
chantarelles roll into bowl
scents ascend, risers stir
door's soprano hinges swing
pitpat scramble, altos yumm

 Here's one I placed in a personal Blog, unfortunately now disappeared, in answer to the problem "Write a story in one sentence."

ONE LINE STORY
While staring at a melody and hearing a blaring tattoo of light, alarmed technicians threatened communications shutdown as the computer, in defending itself against desynthesizers, reconnoitered non-surrender and locked entry into T.P. Alley.
