HAIKU by Celia

 

 

Being retired

Does not mean with lots of time

Could be re-tired


I really like the above haiku.

I picture a person who is retired, in first line.

By third line, I sort of picture the retired person like a little car, with new tires put on to make it go faster again!


I also see it another way: the person is "retired" - made tired by working so long, so they retire due to being tired.

And then, in retirement, they do SO MUCH, they are tired all over again–"re" tired!


Clever!  Jill


SECOND haiku by Celia:

 

Love Haiku poems

They are short and to the point

Three lines say it all


The verb needs to be "say" not says. Lines say.


Jill
