Spring Is Here

Spring is here to stay
For three months, hooray!
More bluebirds are chanting
More tulips are blooming
More trees are growing
And dusts are in the air.

The weather is cool, not cold
More houses are being sold
More joggers run in the streets
More retirees are warming the seats
More athletes are at their meets
And allergies are in the air.

Spring is here to stay

My music adventure

May 2024, when I decided to stay away,
To help keep my feelings at bay.
I found a piano at this place.
Started practicing, thinking of impressing someone.
Now, the friendship has long gone.
I continue to play the piano at many places.
That was how my music adventure started.
Today, while playing at MC,
Something amazing happened.
A young man stood by and

Retiree Returnee

Maunakea comes
into view. Coastlines 
from right side windows.
Hilo, my hometown.
Soon we’ll be landing.

I feel the plane
stop and cargo
door with luggage
bumps hold, thumps ramp.

Passengers
and crew says
Aloha.

Flowered
crowned lei.

FRUITS!

Lee Retiree, 66 Remix

Lee Retiree, 66 Remix
Never one to be lazy,
Lee’s energy astonishes,
Clarity hallmark avoids the hazy,
Kristie et. al. he garnishes,
Materials investigator a la Dick Tracy,
Friends, Lee never tarnishes,
Quick stick moves as a Blue Jay,
Loyalty, he harnesses,
Learned from all at Poly,
Save the nobility (Kedusha),
Of the morning (Youthfully),
For some, retiree harshness,
An evening, but we wish Lee’s a dawning Be!

A Gift For the Retiree

The time on the hands of the clock
  It's all yours now, every tick-tock
     Wisely you may use it
     Or even abuse it ~
  But you cannot choose to refuse it

A Forced Retiree

Who had gone to the Headquarters
With my real age and a wagging tongue?
Who at The Board pounded me with mortars
From a determined snitching lung?

I guess a fellow while still standing
Didn’t aromatic gossip mind
In the area of Image Rebranding
A trusted helper of cops to a crook find!

Though, I could’ve sworn
Some fluffy cushion was the chap offered

Love's Retiree

don't love too much; don't love too deep
affection must be yours to keep
for when you give yourself away
you can't go back to yesterday

secure the fortress of your heart
keep drawbridge up and hide the chart
don't let the path to soul be known
there's no return once it's been shown

be sparing with your proffered love
or you will wail

Envy the Retiree

Envy The Retiree

Gmorning, old friend! Lucky you, you've made it safely....
Hale and healthy to greet each morning sunrise...

You now can take your own sweet time to savour precious time..
Unlike the majority of us here who are still hard pressed for time...

You've been there, the ever constant reminder to be on time,...
The enormous amount of work

Note From the Wife of a Retiree

A NOTE FROM THE WIFE OF A RETIREE

I couldn't buy you a Valentine's card  'cause we're always together;
whether in pouring rain or in freezing snow or ANY kind of weather.
You're with me on our "one day trips", or lunch time at the mall,
or overnight in A/C (THAT we love most of all).
You're right there
