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 278 - Dressed Up To Perform - 18/4/2988

The Pink-bloused tops that young girls wear,
With little of jewellery hanging down covered earrings.
They that smile, jeans and slacks that reach down before their 
       ankles,
To jogging shorts or softly lady shoes, with a show-off or 'no' 
       handbag at all.

These young girls are on their way to a  rock concert,
To yell with the songs they hear at this night,
To cheer and show emotions of young teenage girls,
Their fingers show no ring of love but they will love tonight.

 No signs of having boyfriends are shown on their facial  
      expressions,
They're chewing gum, which shows their puberty,
Yet they will be home in a few hours,
As they look back upon the night, 'They weren't dressed to  
      perform'.
