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 37 - Hatred! - 17/1/1984

Hatred is something that no one really likes,
Especially, when you can feel hatred towards someone else.
I don’t feel guilt, but I’m shrivelled up, inside,
All I seem to want to do is hide within myself.

May her heart shrink and never release,
If she cared so much, just to make me blush.
Day to day, would be so different,
As I can be so tolerant.

Leave me alone! Leave me alone!
As our distance is strengthened,
By further travelling, every day,
My nerves were all gone,
Until I rang you on the phone.

I may be weak according to you,
But I can also come out of the blue,
I’d attack you, by vicious words,
That is harmful and spiteful.

At least, you don’t really know,
That I have gained another mum.
And you have lost your only son.
This is great! I’m having a lot of fun!
