Retirement, a poem: By Romaine Joseph Thorn, …

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press.

Question by BenJay: Can you help me interpret this poem for English.?
I got 3 poems for English class and everyone for that teacher got diffrent ones. Can someone help me interpret it? Thanks (:

What was is … since 1930;
the boys in my old gang
are senior partners. They start up
bald like baby birds
to embrace retirement.

At the altar of surrender,
I met you
in the hour of credulity.
How your misfortune came out clearly
to us at twenty.

At the gingerbread casino,
how innocent the nights we made it
on our Vesuvio martinis
with no vermouth but vodka
to sweeten the dry gin–

the lash across my face
that night we adored . . .
soon every night and all,
when your sweet, amorous
repetition changed.

Best answer:

Answer by Kevin S
I’m a little confused…is this supposed to be 3 poems or just a single poem? The first poem, or stanza, means that nothing has changed since 1930, the boys he knew are still boys but have grown and are now not only older but ready for retirement, and in that age, more resemble the bald babies from which they came. The second poem/stanza, says he met her at either a wedding or a bed (the alter of surrender can mean either), but in this case I’d say wedding because he continues on to say how her misfortune came out clearly to us at 20, meaning that she didn’t want to get married to a man in probably an arranged marriage. The third poem/stanza implies innocence of youth mixed with the heady nature of adulthood, where they met at a bar and “chatted” over hard liquor. However, that innocence is lost in the fourth poem/stanza where it’s obvious they ended up in bed together, and it turned into a long series of nights together and evolved.

hope this helps

Question by Marty: Cowper’s Winter Poem?
What do you think about this poem? Does it give you positive thoughts of winter, or sad ones? I’m thinking about putting it in a christmas card.

O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, . . . I crown thee king of intimate delights, Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness, And all the comforts that the lowly roof Of undisturb’d Retirement, and the hours Of long uninterrupted evening, know.

Question by lilygray2: Can anyone translate ‘ Happy retirement’ in Gaelic/Scottish? Has Robert Burns written a poem about retirement?

Best answer:

Answer by MacJedi
I knae nae Gaelic, but there is a site that will translate it for you for free (they say…)

http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/

As far as I know Burns didn’t write about retirement, which is a pretty recent concept, historically. People didn’t really retire in the 18th century – they simply got too old to work.

That said, though, there are a few poems, such as Nature’s Law or Prospect of Death, that you might be able to take a few stanzas from that would work.

Question by footy: Honestly what do you think of this poem?
One more era of innocence passes freely,
Without a futile grasp at the clock;
No last hope of aging gracefully,
By not aging at all.
As one more year comes and goes,
We seem to all be standing still, watching as
Lives come, lives go.
Just like the memories of those that once were,
The last moment of sanity comes,
In the form of grief unbearable.
Remember, it doesn’t have to end,
The faces don’t have to fade unbearably,
With eye contact one more fable.
Imagine one night, a second chance in what we lost,
The fire that never came,
But burnt us through just the same.
Imagine one more fallen dove,
Watch as the innocence flies towards the sun once again,
Watch the faces of strangers, saddened to the point of tear,
With the hope of something better for one another.
Remember all the final words that seemed so simplistic,
But were lost in the flow of time,
Never again to be carefully stumbled upon for week after week,
Desperately searching for the right ones,
Only to find all of the wrong ones.
What if we could relive the apathetic glories of retirement?
The end of a childhood pastime
That brought a nation together,
Only to later tear it apart.
Carefully follow the streets,
Watch the families preparing for Armageddon,
In the worst of times,
In the most ironic of times.
For how are we expected to live tomorrow,
If we die today?
What if subconscious reunions weren’t the only way
To relive what’s gone?
Our foggy memories replaced by solid matter to grasp.
Remember the ice, the cold, the disillusions that once were.
Can you remember praying for the warmth of the sixth month?
While not realizing how many lives would be sacrificed on the way.
Remember all the lives lost in the summer time,
And the unbearable emotions to leave it behind.
Never forget the broken friendships, the lost acquaintances,
A time of simplicity that reigned above life itself.
Alone in hotel rooms staring ahead ten years to come,
What do we see but life itself?
Now alone in a hotel room staring back ten years previous,
Desperately holding onto our youth the only way we know how.
One second passes, we pray for our lives;
0ne hundred thousand pass, where did the time go?
Thirty million pass, just kill us now.
What if we could relive it all even for one night?
What if somebody told you it never has to end,
Time could be endless, a parade of life.
Perhaps we’d say goodbye,
Goodbye forever.

Feel free to tear it apart as much as you feel necessary.

Question by Jonny: what do you think of this poem?
Broken Bottles (Memorial Park)

We all stood out there
Drew, Terry and I joking with the girls
Tim crouching next to a car with an ounce of weed
a hipster standing above him waiting for his fix
and nervously watching for cops that would never come
Allen pulling up on his motorcycle
younger kids sitting in the grass with their cigarettes flashing
from one side to the other

all of us
out there
in the October air
with the city blurring before us

cars passing through with subwoofers pounding trunks
people arriving
people leaving
generations meeting
shaking hands under the devils pillow
the laughter filling the empty sky

we did not fear hell
we did not fear god
we did not fear the hospitals we were going to die in

it was our night
it was our time
the moon would never be as full again
the air would never smell that way again
the girls bodies would never twist the way they did under the stars
for the rest of our lives

we all knew it
that
this was it
this was history
this was the rest of our lives waiting to happen
we knew this
as the rest of the world slept around us
dead from birth
dreaming about their jobs
about plane rides and cabs
about yearly vacations
and retirement that would never come
they dreamt
hours from waking
in a bed
in a world where they thought they had it all figured out
to them we were the static on their TV’s
the gum under their shoes
the neighbor dog that barked at nothing and listened to no one
we were broken bottles on new pavement

They were dead.

We all stood out there
as the sky turned blue knowing we would die soon

Answer by katiedarline
this is very nice. written in simple parameter, i almost picture someone who has had a hard life writing this, just laying about a story of everday life.
This poem would be wonderfully utilized as spoken word poetry.
Maybe also, try playing around with the end of the poem. try making it a little more informative or a little less predictable.
if you still like your original ending best – stick with it!

Question by Terra Bound: What’s this poem mean?
“The Arab Atheist” – by me.

And all that up here, the contract job
Was to get these, they part of it now
It now as and it now as adults of mob

By the summer of nine, eight, and four
They got the Dow chemical lookouts
They devote all you know and soar
Has a more, how I a media

Have issued a lawyer
Jetliners said i got them
She had made this more
You know how you felt to rear
Make sure you select or are you now
Just national where the hell did you hear

Me clarify what because I’ll be
Some deals that was the claim is that
They have their state and federal retirement, I am free
Would definitely help not a skill levels they are

The lab science
And as I said he was any question
So let’s quickly go through pants
Donated a recall they can see
A lot of combat takeout

Call last word to your daughter of aliens
Are only you know you
Who could look would, of woods
Terribly much like alphabetic
You know do you make sure

She debating a similar heart general
Using the fact
I don’t know why are back in peril
