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 30 - Family Christmas - 20/12/1983

Christmas is a time for all the family,
Gifts are given to the family, all around.
Times of rejoice and happiness are remembered,
As Christmas, is in the month of December.

Pretty collared Christmas wrappings,
Are tied up, with bows on the presents.
There are all sorts of boxes: large and small,
And on them decorated: red and white ribbons.

The decorated Christmas tree, lightens up the room,
We are all going to open the presents, real soon.
While wrapping the scattered paper, on the floor,
Smiles all around and no one says<”that doesn’t matter”.

As each gift is explained to everyone; one by one,
All parents enjoy, while the children have fun.
Christmas is not yet over, after all that,
The family has their Christmas lunch or dinner, which is a great feast.
