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 21 - Men Of The Future - 12/11/1983

The colder goes the winter,
The warmer the summer comes.
We are the children of the present,
And the parents of the future.

As our elders seem more wiser,
They aren’t definitely old timers,
As they open their ears, to hear us,
Their breathing slows them down.

It’s within themselves, to advise us,
In what to do, with our lives,
So we can live our lives,
Leaving them all the time….
That we can look at each other,
And be certain that we can live, a smother life.

For does a man, practice to criticize,
To a woman he loves? And she wants to survive.
Men of all nations, don’t you realize?
That a man’s love to a woman is a love of life.
