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 13 - Outdoor Bush - 23/10/1983

As I hear, the wind from the outdoors,
I listen to the nice sounds of the bush.
And then I turn on the TV, radio and video,
Listening to the voice that records the day’s events.

While I awake, a new day is beginning,                                            
To reveal the history of the day, before,
I then turn to see my darling wife, asleep,
She doesn’t know the news of the day.

Sadness seems to be, the depression on the “News headline”,
Songs are being sung, like two lovers rowing down a flowing stream.
Then, you watch the heroes of the academic world,
Leaders are they all, fighting their battle with thunder and lightening.
