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 222 - The Leader Of The Family - 28/10/1987

Decision making for another person I care for,
Is something that I haven’t had the chance to do before,
In some ways it makes you feel a little bit important,
But to be asked to do small jobs that end up with the decision feeling so good.

As a man of the future, marriage to the woman I dearly love,
I feel proud. I feel like the man I should have been years ago.
My pride is of my fiancé, who is perfect for me,
She pleases me to my hearts delight and stretches my daily smile.

To enquire of canceling her flight away,
To enquire of her important future employment,
To organize employment interviews, home dinner and togetherness sleep,
Is to pre-act the role of a true husband to mind.

How lovely it is to make the final assessment,
How unusual it is for me to make the important decision.
Does it mean that with my believe that a man is dominant,
When a man and a woman are in a deep relationship?

 I know that saying that, will cause the feminists to wonder,
They may think I’m a male chauvinistic bastard,
Let them think of whatever enters their mind,
For centuries, the man has always been ‘The leader of his family’.
