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 26 - Thankyou (Mother-in-law) - 22/11/1983

Something’s bothering my mind, tonight,
Everything seems to be better, for me.
As you listen to the clock, ticking in my heart,
Pounding stronger and stronger, forever and ever.

“Thank-you Mother-in-law, for all the kind words, you have said to me.”

I know that you will always know,
How I feel at any time.
Advice, laughter and criticism, is what I need from you,
“Thank you Mother-in-law,” for all.

Then again, my real mother doesn’t understand,
She doesn’t really like the way; I’m living my life.
She’s prayed and prayed, in all her days of recent,
For me, not to marry 'Michelle', at all.

One day, she’ll wake up and then realize,
The harm she has done to Michelle and my own life.
Then there will be, nothing left for her to be happy,
As of course, she has done all the damage by now.
