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 117 - The Jealousy Is Not There, Anymore! - 21/6/1986

Isn’t there a word or two, I would say of Anne-Marie,
Yet, even in the cheerful way she thinks of me?
Age is the major difference between the both of us,
And only recently I’d like to over her, make some fuss.

Every so often, I think of my wonderful sister,
I think in a way, that I would’ve liked to do, what she is doing now.
But as I hardly ever tried or cared for my studies,
I have no excuse to blame anyone else, but me.

Even though, so young and outgoing, energetically,
I can’t believe that in the family, the brain is “Anne-Marie”!
Congratulations, for your hard envious studies,
As the results will be towards you, in a few more years.

You’ve mixed with good girl friends,
Who don’t tear you to the ground.
The0y’re the one’s that don’t use you:
To find out more of your intelligence.

As many times I’ve mocked you, “Anne-Marie”,
As many times, I request for your forgiveness,
From the jealousy, from within myself,
Is not there, anymore!
