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 32 - Test After Tests - 29/12/1983

Noises of the corridor, I awake,
The clacking of the tea lady’s trolley,
Footsteps are heard from the medical staff,
Pacing up and down. The hours are getting close.
It’s the operation that will make me frown.
                                                                       
My husband thinks, he knows how I feel, today,
Little does he know, that this one’s a major one. 
Test after tests, they seem to work around the clock,
Makes me think of all those bloody shocks

Mother is there, just to make sure I’m O.K.,
Husband is working all during the day,
Afternoon arrives, as I want my husband here,
Every moment is precious, as I stare at the door…
