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 10 - Shaking Out My Past - 21/10/1983

Yellow is the glow, of the sun,

Which portrays the beauty of a person, I know.

We both do come from different backgrounds,

As I have lived a life, for many years in a shelter,


But my true love “her”, has uncovered all of that.    

My eyes open, as my ears listen more,
As my mother grieves and always interferes.
We have been with the rich an also with the poor,
And her mother is a mother I would always like to have.

As I grab my hand and shake out my past,
With her life, my life just feels so fast.
I used to feels unhappy myself, at some nights,
But tonight, has really turned on my only light.

A friend from her work it was (according to her),
She needed a female friend. So they became!
I know and understand, what friendship means to Michelle,
As Michelle is what a true good friend should be.

Today I opened up, myself,
Letting her know how I felt.
I firstly didn’t tell her….

It took me time to tell.
But from now on, I will only say to her,
How I feel about anything, that’ll ever worry me,
This is because; I love her too much,
To say, “YES” to her, at every single time.

I know that we’d both be happy,
If she was found, pregnant by me.
Certainly, I wouldn’t be too positive,
Until all her tests, prove so positive.

If she can bear, this child of ours,
Even though, if it is, later in the future,
This would make our feelings and dreams,
Of each other, become a lot more true nature.
