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 184 - Resigned: Pauline - 7/10/1986

Maybe it’s best to let things of enormous decisions,
Be put aside and lay directly, on the edge of the table.
But to hear of such a beaut persons to resign,
Only my thoughts of that news, would like me to be drowned in a pool.

Pauline! Pauline! You are many of many, that have passed and gone,
You’re pay packet will rise so high in the sky,
Your home loan will be slightly easier to pay off,
Of the little time I’ve known you (as a working companion). It’s hard to believe!

You may leave with a paycheck of big interest,
But don’t think that’s the last you’ll see of us,
As we’ll keep the friendship you have shared with us,
Wrapped up, like golden ribbons, glowing through a bright new rainbow.

No tears, will you shed at your last day of work,
But the memories of different characters, will ponder you through the years,
May we just say, if what you are doing is good for you,
Don’t stop or change your mind, cause you’ll never like the workload here, at ‘Pru’.
