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 256 - Banking To Save - 3/2/1988

Now we are married we have put our heads together,
To think and work out at first how much maximum we can save.
For the first few months we have found,
That you always want to purchase something extra, every fortnight.

But as you payoff the bills ‘Uno by Uno’
You financially workout the extra cent how much you spend.
Whilst doing that you can work out,
What proportion do you put aside for savings?

‘How do you do your banking?’ you ask yourself,
The thinking starts when you work out how many bank accounts you have.
That is, one for house savings, one for household items,
One for household bills and one for each personal shopping.

Then you work out what proportion you put aside,
For bills, household items (shopping) and personal shopping,
With most consideration given to the amount,
That is specially put aside to save for major items.

There are different ways of working it out properly,
Methods are completely different to the individual.
Yet for a couple to plan their life together,
Commonsense will be brought into ‘banking to save!’
