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 109 - Poets And Poems - 7/6/1986

I am asked about when I write poetry:
I respond not despondently but with honesty,
“That riding to and from work, on trains and buses,
And when I think it is a good moment, to do so.”

One thing I realized, is that all the poems,
Are written outside the home environment.
Most poems are extremely personal, of self-life,
And at that time expressed, how I feel is recorded.

There is the expression,” There is a method in your madness”,
Well, there’s the mechanics of written words,
Description of expressions and feelings,
Just meaningful and easeful words of positive thinking.

Most poets when writing their own styles of poems,
Reflect either on one or two messages: in-between the lines,
In my own case, not all the poems rhyme,
But they are split up into thoughts of lines.

The “Icing on the cake”, isn’t necessarily the end,
It could be a whole phrase or paragraph,
That attracts all reader’s minds,
To infiltrate one’s mind, with one’s creation.

Every single one of us can easily write a few words,
And perform a work of art, by painting your thoughts.
Like a fast running streaming water spring,
Running to the shores of no end.
