These words remind me of my husbands attitude. After over 40 years with the railroad he said no more boots and no more work. I'm done with it all. Now we spend our winters in Arizona relaxing and going to the pool.

No one really thinks of the shoes that help us make it through our life. They are a luxury that they did not afford in the days before.

This is a cute little piece.

Hello anonymous,

Great entry for the 2-3-2 Poetry writing prompt contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Pleasant presentation appropriate for the poem.

Sounds like a hard worker welcomes retirement.

Well done. Good luck in the contest.

This 2-3-2, Well-worn Boots, has the right set up and and sees the workman's boots hung up like the sheriff's guns and the next phase of life beginning.

Looks to be those boots were well worn! Glad that you can sit back now and relax in your retirement (years).

Good entry for this 2-3-2 contest.

IMHO the presentation value to FS reviewers will be increased if you raise the font size for your text. Consider some punctuation for the same?

in the left hand corner of the text box, toggle so you can use the advance editor mode

then highlight your text and the click on the various font attributes and voila you will be able to adjust your text

Yes these boots and their owner can now take a well- earned rest after years of toil and labour - symbol of the working life - may be they could take their owner along a whole new trail ?

Retired

Bye boots
Those boots look like they have seen a lot of hard work and are ready to be retired. I have found I've been busier in retirement than before.

Good job with this post. I feel like there is a larger story here that could go beyond the 2-3-2 restrictions. Even from you description "Won't be needing them Yay!" it seems like there was something that was either overcome or done away with, and that story could be an interesting one to share on this site. I think the artwork expresses your poem on a more practical level, and the coloration is nice. Good luck in the contest.
