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 165 - Market Researchers - 5/9/1986

Well, with these self-funding discussions,
Of which I certainly enjoy to go to, to receive cash,
With no added friends from work now attending.
The discussions become quite interesting.

My first group discussion was on Irish coffee liquors,
My second, on renovating houses of all sorts,
My third was on the description of ‘wattle paints’,
My fourth, on smoking six cigarettes for one hour.

And finally sending back a survey for more cash,
My fifth, was on also cigarettes and was paid a lot,
My six was on champagne and wine,
My seventh (and of recent), was on United Permanent Building Society.

My talk subjects is fine,
For just an hour and a half of time,
It amazes my friends in what I say,
It also amazes them in what is said, around the table.

To this day, I’m a so-called ‘expert’,
In market research of all kinds.
What started so serious,
I’ll now take as a joke!
