Retirement? Comments

Everyone needs a reason to rise each morning! I think of this period, not as retirement, but a new chapter. Excellent! Thanks.

hi, wonderful piece? i used to work as compensation administrator. i have felt the pangs of being called retired. it was a shocking experience that people had become so pale once they found themselves as retired. suddenly, all the activity goes off the road. how ever, a brilliant passage of thought. a true catharsis! please read my poems ' defeat' and ' life is calling'.

This is great. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one, says just how one feels, nice flow and it really is great that we of a certain age can write some jolly good pieces about things that we have experienced.. Lovely write. You might also enjoy reading my poem 'An OAP - That's Me! '. Love Ernestine XXX

Having just read a poem about keeping mentally young (by David Harris) , I think you're on the same wavelength. Sitting and dozing may be OK for a short while but if that was all we had to look forward to we'd end up as zombies. Keep writing and reading, Kate. Love, Fran xx
