FROM THE POET

This is a series of poems written by John Svododa over a number of years. There are times of peak-where numerous poems were written & there are also times of lows where there are long periods between each poem. As the author is trying to reach a goal of 1001 (and then retire!!) it was never envisaged that this would be done over a short period of time. Poems can be humorous, ridiculing someone or something, show a meaning of hurt or love or even project feelings that not necessarily be directed to the same person/thing, can be a reflection of life or to be life. Most poems are trying to send a message to the reader be it not understandable or nonsense.

The idea of this poet is not to have any ill feelings against anyone but to be read by young whom can learn about life – and by the elderly look back at what could have been. Some are very personal- but who cares when you are currently living in a life that has total enjoyment. Suggestion is not to criticize but to take in the enjoyment of creative poetry make it meaningful and thus may be you can be an author.

Poem Number 133 - Running The 'Pru' - 17/7/1986

Working at the ‘Pru’ is not something that is new,
But the friendship you share is always a tight bond.
There are many of us, who don’t have friends here,
And if you don’t, there is nothing to fear.

Before there are Administration changes, that are affected,
Everyone knows this information, which is given.
You have junior clerks doing junior jobs: known as grade one,
You have the senior/junior clerks with that little extra authority.

In different departments, there are different grades,
From Section Head, who share the most burdened responsibility.
They have to be the interviewer for performance reviews,
Working out individually how that individual is suited.

Then in Departments, you will have the 2IC’s,
These 2IC’s assist in the running of the sections,
Making sure that the Department works, with high esteem,
Which any serious problems or solutions are discussed with the Departmental Head.

Most major Departmental discussions are made a t Departmental meeting,
It is like a meeting with directors of a company,
Having meeting with no long term end,
But is treated seriously, as any outcome will effect at least one of us,

The Branch Manager is our link to all other areas,
That is; Head Office, Agents and policy Holders.
You have got to have that charisma,
To have all the fruit well, all in one bag!
