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 52 - Against Advice - 6/3/1984

Taking medical drugs to put me to sleep,
Is really not what I wanted to happen.
Yet, I had done that for my own reasons,
Sleepy, yet awake how I feel!

Against advice of others, I had taken them,
I obviously had taken them due to fatigue ness and depression.
Boy! At present I have put myself in a hell of a mess,
For more than once, I put myself under such heavy sleep.

I could not cope,
Not sleeping instantly.
This, I had not done due to Michelle being away,
It was due to the notices that blared, to keep me awake.

It doesn’t seem right to put the blame on anyone else,
And I’ll take the blame, all by myself.
I know My girl won’t go to sleep,
For the music’s so loud.

But she would definitely,
Take an interest.
Even though, I can’t get to sleep,
And the music, sound not being the best.
