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 17 - Panicked! - 2/11/1983

Everything seems to happen to us, both in one go,
I really feel guilty about our first big blue,
My lady, she left me when I was pissed and sick,
Not knowing what to do, I panicked!

I felt jealous about her ringing up “David”,
It took me more than a few drinks, to calm me down,
And she deliberately wouldn’t tell me. Who was she ringing?
But when I use the phone to ring up someone,
She would always like to find out, to whom I was speaking too!

I know, I shouldn’t be jealous, if it really can’t be true!
It’s like myself, trying to do the same to her.
As my love for Michelle, is on of concern,
I would never act the same way, towards Michelle, at all.
