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 121 - Smokers Anonymous - 25/6/1986

Smoker’s anonymous is not for me,
As everybody knows that I smoke.
For someone who didn’t like smokers,
I had taken it for various reasons.

Sure, the main reason is that it is a habit,
But I just wanted a change to my life-style.
So, at the time, I moved out from home,
And had created havoc in all areas of daily routine.

The one thing I must admit,
Is that I was not forced into it.
It was a major decision,
That went beyond all my beliefs.

For one time being, I will eventually give up,
Which will at first be hard to do.
But with patience, time and essence,
It will be the outcome of my trial and error.
