SANTITA & BRIAN ~ HAPPY HIKING IN ANY WEATHER ~ YES !
********************************************************
HIGHBOARD DIVING ~ AWESOME ~ BRIANSODES
********************************************
HIGHBOARD DIVING ~ thrilling
I STARTED when I was only SEVEN
GOING off ~ the 1.5 meter Springboard
HIGH enough for a front or back summersault
BUT NOT ~ too high for comfort ~ The 5 was a bit
OUT of my reach ~ so my next goal was the 2.5 meter
A BIT daunting at first especially if you belly flopped ~ painful
READY for more height ~ & two tight summersaults
Down & DOWN you plunge entry must be right !
**********************************
DIVING of the edge to begin a race is OK
I ALWAYS did that naturally If I swam
VERY EASY for most people but
I FOUND the ten meter board
NOT EASY so alas I never
GOT to the OLYMPICS
***********************
Thanks please add your POEM
I love to sit,
On the porch and just gaze,
Out toward the meadow,
Contemplate my day.
What I could do,
To use my time wisely,
To work and to play,
To treat others kindly.
There is so much to do for pastime
Shuffling words is my favorite game
Reading poem on MPS is a lot of fun
Leave comments and make friends
Playing cards over weekend
Time fly by like a second
Reading a book
Try a new cook
So much
Fun
Problems with cold induced urticaria
prevent me from wanting to travel
to the Arctic, Antarctic, the Alps and Siberia.
so give me the lands of the elephant and camel
or anywhere that's hot will be okay by me
where I can relax write and paint all day
that's just the kind of place where I want to be.
Riding my bike along a curving way
Or along the sunny ocean bay
Makes my heart beat go much higher
And gives me the peace I do require
All the daily worries are gone away
Making this a wonderful day
MY FAVORITE GAME IS CHESS ~ BRIANODES
*****************************
CHESS is a Universal Game ~ So if
I TAKE my Chess Set with me I can
PLAY ~ anywhere in the World. You
NEED 2 words CHECK CHECKMATE
CHARACTERS KING QUEEN KNIGHT
BISHOPS and PAWNS and CASTLES
ARE also Universal and understood.
I LEARNED to play when I was seven
AND still learning No two games are
REALLY the same and so that is its
ATTRACTION It only takes about one
WEEK to learn and it will give you
a lifetime of JOY and PLEASURE !
*********************************
Please add your POEM asap ~ BRIAN
Fishing
***************
Fishing is one of the few things
that make my heart sing.
The quiet of nature surrounds
And Gods presence abounds
I love being outdoors
where I don't get bored
Fishing is my favorite retreat!
FELL WALKING & ROCK CLIMBING ~ BRIANODES
*****************************************
MOUNTAINS in the UK are modest
ONLY BEN NEVIS ~ Scotland over 4000 ft
USUALLY We climb up and down in one day
NEVERTHELESS We were the Team that climbed
THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN ~ first MOUNT EVEREST
ALLOWING A Kiwi and a Sherpa to plant the UK FLAG
I THINK that is a good example of British Sportsmanship
NOWHERE in the World beats the Lake District for scenary
SNOWDON in Wales is another iconic Mountain ~ awesome views !
**********************************************************
Thanks for visiting ~ Please add your Poem ~ or a second ~ BRIAN
This POEM is an Acrostic of the key word M O U N T A I N S ~ OK
Also ~ in case you did not notice ~ it is structured as a MOUNTAIN !
CONTRACT BRIDGE ~ AN INTELLECTUAL CARD GAME ~ ACROSTIC
**********************************************
BRIDGE is played worldwide by millions of players. All
RECEIVE 13 cards. There's four players named N S E & W
I PLAY with a PARTNER and make bids ~ based on my hand
DEALER bids first thus ~ S 1 H ~ W 1 S ~ N 2 H ~ E 2 S etc etc
GAME is played very seriously ~ A very Good Bridge Partner is essential
EVERYONE should learn to play BRIDGE ~ it is an absorbing & infinite game !
*******************************************************
NOTE: N = North E = East S = South W = West N & S and E & W are partners and sit opposite each other. H = Heart S = Spade. This "auction" was won by NORTH ~ 4 Hearts. This meant N & S had to make 10 tricks to win the game Hearts as TRUMPS

A big thank you to all those who contributed your excellent poems to enable SANTITA and I to score a maximum 15 Poems in about 5 days ! A comment on the full package would be welcome. SANTITA will post another Joint One soon and we would value you support again. We are a bit disappointed in how sluggish most FUSIONS are and a great opportunity is missed to mutually share our ODD ODES jointly on the SAME TOPIC. Thanks again for the promptness and excellence of your contributions ~ Love to ALL B & S XOX
A fine write by all!
Thanks STEVE ~ every Poem is a GEM ~ SANTITA has started another one on "Your Dream Job" ~ why not be Young again and post a Dream ~ PLEASE ~ Thanks BRIAN
This was a great fusion. I appreciated the invite to participate! It's fun to learn about each other. Great job by all!
GO AFTERNOON CHRISTINA ~ Thanks for your comment and very positive attitude to \"The Spirit of Fusions\" ! I have added mine to the new job~related FUSION ~ I want to colonise MARS with BUZZ LIGHTYEAR ! I see SANTITA has already sent you a request (you are on KAT\'s list !). You strike me as a Born Nurse ~ so I guess you would chose that again ~ or perhaps to be a famous BRIAN SURGEON ? By choosing to colonise MARS ~ I would still be a Scientist but working millions of miles away from Home (Planet Earth) ~ The Application Form (from NASA) is directed to Young ~ Single ~ Scientists. Every Blessing ~ We are having a special CHURCH PM for Texas on Thursday Evening ~ Martian Hugs ~ BRIAN @@@@@@@@@@@@
