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 126 - Loan-Free Man - 4/7/1986

Well, doesn’t it feel great for me,
To now be a loan-free man.
How relieved I feel, to not pay my debts,
And to finally put some money aside.

It is hard to explain what I have been through,
But I understand that I’m not the only one, it happens too,
With me, I’ve been lucky,
As I could have been married.

So thank God, that I was put in that disposition.
Thank him a thousand times for not making that decision.
With food from the bible, still here to be eaten,
I will want to gulp all of it down.

To be ‘loan-free’, it is easy to feel good,
So good, so that I can do what I should.
All that is in front of me, is mine,
So that I can buy the things, which will be mine.

To ripen the new beginning of me,
Is like throwing away the rotten apples of the past.
To begin a clear, clean, fresh new day,
And completely forget of the previous dark night.
