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 8 - Mamma Berry, Happy Birthday! - 13/10/1983

This is a poem for “Mamma Berry!”
Who always, seems to be so very merry.
Everyone she knows, she gives them a little smile,
Especially, on the day of her birthday.
                                                                                                                 
Mamma Berry, is a mummy’s mum,
She loves her children, when they are so placid.
And she never seems to have a single moment, to herself,
All because she thinks about is all her family, first.

Making sure, there are hardly any quarrels, at home,
Keeping an eye or two, on her lovely husband, “Bill”.
One arm on the sewing machine, a leg in the kitchen,
Finding any tiny space, for any uninvited guests, to live in.

If there’s a decision for 'mamma of the year?'
If there’s a decision for the 'Nobel Peace Prize?'
Would it be gratification, if 'Mamma Berrry' could win them all?
Wouldn’t it just be one great big surprise?

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
You’re a little more older and wiser.
Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!
We all love you! “
