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 267 - Decisions Of Importance - 17/2/1988

It is not many times that a decision of importance,
Is made by myself to benefit the company,
But when you sit down, side by side of your boss,
You have a general feeling of satisfaction, when he doesn't know everything.
You realize that everything depends on yourself, When your decision is of high importance, And it concerns the Administration you are involved in, And of course the appreciation of service by our clients.
So there you are, doing a job that someone else should be doing,
Or really should have done months before the new complete system was brought up,
But to no avail, my boss and I carry on with wasteful work,
As it left no one else to know what is right or what is wrong.
So tedious and repetitious this job may be,
It is left to myself to carry the burden,
Up to us to waste time that could have been spent somewhere else,
To utilize proper working time to fulfil a day's work.
