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 218 - Marriage Of Future - 23/10/1987

To this date, marriage has not meant more to others,
Than just two people signing a legal document of ‘life binding’.
People seem to marry divorce and again marry & divorce,
Yet so many first marriages seem to represent false images of two people’s love.

Marriage is such an important step and decision in ones adult life,
That we even hear of marriages of conveniences.
Who knows if they couple that sign this document a both?
Are genuinely interested to share the rest of their lives together.

And yet, dramatically once living together under the same roof,
There seems to be a change in lifestyle for the individual.
Not realizing that for a continuous happy marriage,
Joint plans of every nature must be to both’s delight.

So correct decisions must be made on behalf of two not just one,
And on the way to the futures success, there should be a little fun.
Communication of all sorts must be attended too,
So that doesn’t get his or her wires crossed.

My marriage of future will be one of thoughtful thinking,
With my wife I will talk and listen for anything of importance.
Whilst plans of long term goals are passed by us,
I will always have fun, laughter and happiness with my gracious wife.
