Congrats on your retirement! I've been retired for about two years, and for the most part love my retirement too! Thank you for your encouraging review.

'Eating less things that are cheesy' Lol too funny, your poem is very cute and I am sure true to one who is reaching that of the retirement age ;) Best of luck in the contest!

Mystery Poet,
your acrostic for the word Retired is wonderfully written. You poem is in excellent acrostic form. You imagery is good and paints a picture in the readers head. The art work you use is delightful. You effectively used alliteration in your acrostic poem. I enjoyed the lines: "Warlocks and witches imparting insane ideas while stirring the cauldron via the media." Reaching these golden years at last Ending life's era of work Telling myself that I am still young." I enjoyed your message about retirement. I like your good rhymes that you used: bliss, cheesy easy and quirk work. I also like your great metaphor you used: "aging with bliss." I'd recommend your mighty fine acrostic poem to other reviewers. I wish you good luck in the Acrostic Poetry writing prompt with your poem. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day.
Missy.

For those who enjoy those years, bravo! So many are interrupted with aging illnesses. My husbands was and many friends. They say because we are living longer. Not sure I agree with that. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your review. Yes, for some, retirement isn't all that it's built up to be. Mine has been mostly good. thanks again

I'm one for punctuation when it helps the read, but here you have made the lines break at appropriate places enough that it doesn't hinder the flow. It's a clever poem and well done within the acrostic form. A casual tempo that works with the lighter message, and a nice rhyme scheme.

Thanks so much for your review. Like you, I am also "one for punctuation," but this is my first or second acrostic ever, and it just didn't seem like punctuation would fit in here. I appreciate your encouraging feedback. Thank you!
