OUR FARM HOLIDAY'S ~ A super family get away
Horse riding adventures ~ then we feed them some hay
Country perfume lingers in animals habitat
Children hold their noses ~ THAT SMELL ? WHAT IS THAT ? !
Then we sleep tight ~ there's no alarm to wake them in the night
Only the sound of the cockerels song ~ to wake them at first light !
THE ENGLISH LAKE DISTRICT ~ A favourite place of mine
I love to Walk & Swim & Mountain climb
My favourite's Great Gable and also Scafell Pike
Standing on the Top of England ~ that I like !
The Lakes are great to swim in ~ especially Windermere
But only in high Summer ~ when it's warm enough My Dear !
HOLIDAY CAMP ~ where we are one with Nature
Soothing silence ~ of the Wildlife Creatures
Explore the woods ~ collect sticks for the fire
We all sit round ~ marshmallows melting ~ all for our desire
Going back to basics ~ learning to live without
Feel the buzz ~ discovering what Life is really all about !
FRANCE is great for Caravans ~ Love to go in SEINE
Living close to Paris ~ that's my claim !
Pop in on the Metro ~ visiting the Loure
Meet the Mona Lisa ~ classical art groove
Eifel Tower ~ Champs Eleysee ~ Palace of Versailles
Arc de Triumph ~ Notre Dame all in my FRANCE I SPY !
RIVER CRUISING on the THAMES ~ remember vividly
The sounds of rippling water ~ as the Duck swim timidly
As we cruise the river's motions we sway through
Joyful birds sing harmonies ~ we fight the urge to join in too !
The River captures understated beauty
As we glide through ~ its peace and its tranquility !
I really want to stay in ~ each State of the USA
But two are non-contiguous Alaska & Hawaii
Hawaii I will visit when the Volcano dies away !
But I have been up the Inside Passage to Alaska
To see the Glaciers ~ Seals and Whales
The Inuits we lovely ~ and its cooler than Nebraska !
Thanks for visiting ~ Love MAXINE & BRIAN XOXOX
We hope and pray that you will manage to have
a SUMMER HOLIDAY this year ! It's nearly JUNE
and in the NORTHERN HEMISPHERE the Summer
weather has already started do get your bags packed
book your Holiday Destination and GO GO GO !

A fine write and pics there from you both!
Thanks STEVE it was fun to write ~ we are pleased with the outcome ! Pleased you liked it ~ A Collaboration Poem always brightens a MONDAY MORNING ~ Yours M & B
A big congrats to both of you - a real top notch collab. Makes me think we must book our next break - currently considering the Greek Islands as a cruise or tour . I do prefer tours though as you see so much more.
THAT IS TRUE MICHAEL ~ You see so much on a Tour ~ not just Port Hopping ! We went to CUBA last year and toured the Western half if the Island and stayed in about five Centres. We really saw CUBA and what is more ~ we met the People ~ excellent ! Every Blessing on your vacation. I will be visiting NZ in AUGUST to see Angela & Ruth and we (DAVID & I) will come back via HAWAII ! Thanks for your comment ~ Yours BRIAN & MAXINE
An awesome write from you both!! The stanzas complimented each other well. Looking forward to summer! Great job Brian and Maxine!
Thanks CHRIS ~ pleased you liked it and found the six poems complemented each other ~ which (as you know) is the main linguistic purpose of a Collaboration Poem. Max and I are both from the County of \"LANCASHIRE\" so we have common experiences of childhood holidays but different ones as we have grown up and especially as Max has a Family ! We decided on SIX SEXTETS which gave us 36 lines in all ~ long for MPS. There is a lovely flow and cohesion to the Poem ~ for which we are grateful ! Thank for your comment ~ Tus Hermanos Poeticos ~ MAXINE & BRIAN XOX
Such a happy and informative read - - well done you two with lots of encouragement for me to go back to gay Paris and relive the past. Am tempted to cruise the Thames after reading the fun to be had. Great combo and thanks for sharing.
Thanks FAY ~ Collaborations are FUN but there must be like-mindedness between the Collaborators to produce a seamless garment ! MAX and I are both from Lancashire so our Childhood experience and concept of a Holiday is similar ! Because MAX is a MUM she has picked child-orientated holidays and I can still spread my wings and in August I have booked for NZ to see Angela ! Pleased you liked it ~ Yours MAX & BRIAN XOX
