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 39 - Miracles - 23/1/1984

I’ve never written a poem like this,
To annoy a woman that I’ll miss.
This lovely woman of maturity and certain response,
Is a true woman of love and no nonsense.

I ask myself in true respect,
What can I truly pick on her on dispense,
But I cannot and really will not disaffect,
This woman of her own beauty and self-respect.

Yet, she acts so mediocre in manner,
Childlike she really accepts.
I love her game and true love, is the same,
Who am I to cause the blame?

AI act like the man-in-charge,
Never mistaken for the boy-in-charge.
Yet myself, feel young inside,
And I’m not entitled to a bribe.

If miracles could happen, in honest reality,
Wouldn’t my life end up, 
Oh so happily?
I better shut up and not act like a drip.
