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 Nunber 286 - Good News Or Bad News - 12/5/1988

Situations are happening everyday of our lives,
Where we here  or read  about some sort of news. 
They will differ at all times  but they travel so fast,
And most of all: it is chain news that  can be misconstrued 
        altogether.

 It is news of goodness, there can be smiles and laughter,
If it is news of badness, there can be tears and sadness.
It just depends on how it is broadcasted,
       And how people perceive it.

 Is it news  of good fortune to ones own heart?
Is it news of depression to tear ones heart?
For it could be  that of nothing is said of all,
It will make no difference to ones own hollow hall.

 But as it is going down  from first to the last person,
The news is not the same original story (including changes a re 
        permitted).
For some people news will never be told,
But it will grow and mature to be fashionably old.
