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 209 - Season Of Love - 8/4/1987

For is it the winter that sheds the tears,
Or is it the summer that makes those smiles?
For the everlasting life from life,
Is the result of how you live life today.

You and I will never for happy days evermore,
Nothing on earth will split us, far apart.
For we will count the good years of our relationship,
And never count the bad years: not even one.

For is it true, that I heard you love me so,
Or is it true, that there will be no love between us?
For God’s sake and for your own self,
Tell me your answer, oh, true heart of mine!
