Retirement?

How do you want to retire?

I need a crystal ball.

To see into my future

Life could be fun

Or a daily grind

Who can tell?

Will I get a pension?

Will I have enough?

Will the planet be OK?

What will happen to the environment?

Lots of questions.

I would like to keep as fit as I can.

I hope to feel enthusiastic again,

Maybe get involved in the community.

Semi retirement is OK

But I do feel a little lost

I do try and do things

When I’m feeling OK.

That’s the main thought

A wish to be OK

To keep going.

Not to lose my way.

Spring

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

Flowers open

First daffodils then tulips

Some promise of primroses

Helibores nod their head

Leaves unfurl and spread

Yellows and golds attract the bees

Their eyes subtle patterns insects see.

Guiding them to nectar

From flowers and trees.

That’s the season set to please!

Esther’s limerick challenge. Luck

Every week Esther Chilton posts a limerick challenge. This week’s Monday limerick word was “luck”.

Sometimes these are easy, other times hard. This week’s wasn’t bad.

Basically a limerick has two rhyming lines of a longish length, then two shorter ones that rhyme using a different pattern and then finally the last line is longer and goes back to the first type of rhyme. Have a go yourself on Esthers page?

My limerick is :

Finally I have had some good luck,

I found lots of gold in a truck,

it was hidden away,

in an old parking bay,

at the home of the Pirate called “Hook”!
