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 2 - Understand This And Me! - 1/7/1983

Am I so affectionate, that I don’t realize,
What I am doing, to the person that I love?
Is it the woman that I love?
Can she put up with me? And change me, to a man I should be?

Am I jealous enough, that I don’t like it?
When she gets angry and upset with me?
Am I whom I am?
Life does mean a lot to me,
I like life so much, in caring for other people.

I am at present, so happy with my own little life,
That I have found hardly any problems getting back to my friends.
A close personal relationship, with someone so special,
I have in my past life, found hard to find.

A special person, who tells me that, “ I’ am silly”,
To leave my old friends, earlier this year,
To somebody,                                                                                              
Who was really using me.

I, who hasn’t been through a lot in life,
But for what I have been through,
This was something in my life,
I haven’t really learnt.

Sometimes, I do things without even asking.
So now, I ask people for their own opinion,
As to what I should or should not be doing,
I hope everyone understands this and me!
