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 134 - 'Pip' The Lost Cat - 22/7/1986

To the little ‘Pip’, that has just disappeared,
May you front up at our home for food.
With your spotted black and white fur coat,
With little pad-like feet softly wandering around.

We adopted from the cries of the dark side,
The cries of a lost kitten finding a new home,
Caring and loving was my mother to her,
Was the newfound owner and cuddlier of the kitten.

Purring to a feminine touch of one’s hand,
Sleeping in soft, comfortable living conditions,
Was she, who never bit any of us,
And roam around from house to garden and played little kitten games.

To me, she will arrive back with stitches and all,
The loss of joy will be back to normal.
Once the news of the small ‘Pip’ kitten is shown,
Everyone will roll back to his or her daily routine.
