If these phrases are entitled as texts, sayings or quotes, it does not mean that you have to use them for their intended use. They can serve good as retirement messages or statuses on social media sites.

Retirement card messages

There is a tradition in many companies to sign retirement cards for workers who are leaving. The words of congratulations on these cards are, in most cases, the same, and this may be depressing. When a retiree reads these cliched words, they hardly feel loved, needed and appreciated. You can share the memories connected with this person to let them know that you will miss them.

  • We congratulate you. You have earned this rest over the years of dedicated hard work at our company. We will never forget our funny talks during breaks. We hope your retirement will be endless and our breaks become full-fledged walks and sit-downs.
  • Now you may forget about work and enjoy your free life in retirement. Do not forget about us as we do not forget about such a model coworker like you. You have done so much for us. Happy retirement!

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
