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 280 - Nick-A -Dollar -19/4/1988

It was justice that had  me nicking a dollar,
Just so I could  afford to travel to work,
Yet, now I feel guilty to pinch from my wife's purse,
I was too scared to asking  my dear wife. Oh God punish me!

But little did I know how much hurt I have caused her,
To leave for work, tears wetting the bed,
i, who do not steal from anyone rick or poorer,
 I had been caught forever doing the wrong thing Oh, God punish 
      me!

A sinful person I am to even think of such bad thing,
Now my wife won't be thinking of me being honest.
No, the damage has been done. I ask her now to believe me,
 But in doing so, give me a lesson or two. Oh God punish me!

Yet, there was a 'little devil' .me that utilised  my mind and body,
But that  now may have destroyed one woman's total confidence in 
   me. 
For I beg you  God, to forgive me,
 But in doing so, give me a lesson or two. Oh God, punish me!

 And to my dearest wife who will not talk to me, I know,
Please let me off to show you that I can be trusted again.
For my love for you is  deep, deep down from within my heart,
Be silent and I know you care, don't  lose you love of me!
