It's a nice, cozy little home, where every day, I try to come up with at least one new spanking poem--oops! at...

Premium Member Active vs Retired Life
I face a big dilemma, Is active life better than retired? In active life, social ties thrive, Conversations flow, stirring hearts and minds, In retired life, tranquility retreats, Fewer interactions, cherished with ease. Active sports push boundaries, energy like a fiery spell, Retired sports are leisurely, golf swings, fishing trips, ...

Retired Astronaut's Memory
"I have been a stranger in a strange land." Bible, Exodus 2:22 I travelled far across that world and saw the strangest sights. The buildings unlike ones I'd seen before. The towers spiralled to the sky, the tunnels underground were vast, so deep beneath the planet's crust. The sky was green, the planet's many moons like ships upon a stormy...

Premium Member Retired VIP Guest Hospitality Specialist: Land Trustee-PS
A pure Hawaiian of rare birth, living a life somewhat carefree, fed farm animals by this squirt, sticks and stones were real toys indeed, set trash ablaze, be on alert, a barefoot country kid, that's me, a runner on trails made of dirt, plucked berries from brush, fruits from trees, built sandcastles--swam first of seven seas. "I was young when we all left this...

Premium Member Retired - ITQ
From dawn to dusk, life's rhythm flows, Children march, adults toil, time goes. Household chores consume, days, time flows, Elderly sit, watch, sigh, with vows. This morning, hope rose with the sun, A splendid day where dreams are spun. Social media chats live & fun, Ends up with an endless ruction. Retiree's no longer in rush, A Research pursuit brings a hush. Writing poems, a...

Tired While Retired
When younger, I would stay up late And drink a lot of wine, But nowadays, with half a beer, I hit the hay at nine. My teaching days, once filled with work, Plus quite a long commute, Would wipe me out for reasons that Nobody would dispute. Yet, now retired, I walk three miles And pass the extra time With reading, crosswords, phone calls And, of...
