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 131 - I Shall Never Leave - 12/7/1986

It doesn’t feel any different to me,
To be aging to year twenty-five.
It just feel the same as being twenty-one going to twenty-four,
But mostly of all, it makes me feel that little bit older.

At work, I was treated like a king,
With a terrific card and an edible cake.
Then, as the afternoon came, so linked up all the drinks,
As best wishes from every individual, were told to me.

At home, when I arrived it was completely different,
The atmosphere was all right, though tense.
There is no hard feeling that I think of mum,
But arriving at ten to twelve on your twenty-fifth is dumb.

No eruptions of blustered and directed stupid phrases,
Should have been thrown at either of us.
Yes, I know that mum wanted it to be special,
Yes, in know that deep down inside, I did hurt you.

If you wanted you and me to share it: to be a special night,
You could have told me that somewhat before.
As the time we both share is so precious,
That I have got a goaled-life, in front of me.

Don’t take me wrong “mother”, for this is true,
But what you must remember is that I’ll never leave,
Nit in a mental or emotional point of view,
But only in a physical way, soon shall do.
