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 110 - Red Carpet - 10/6/1986

There are so many items on my list of buying,
From clothes, to a motor vehicle to an apartment.
But the one thing that I don’t want to buy or sell,
Is the greatness of love with Carla.

I have never felt the same as before,
Only once was I involved with a whore,
This time, I know this is the right person,
To be in love with me, such a sweet woman.

If only, I had a car to drive us out,
If only, I had the choice of clothes for night,
If only, I had enough money saved,
They are the 'If’s', that I don’t like.

For Carla, deserves more than the red carpet,
She deserves mature tender loving care,
Not to be used by any man at all,
So she can stand up, on her feet so tall.
