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 139 - He Will Be By Her Side - 22/7/1986

The cream of life is the natural birth of mother’s nature,
While the parents watch in antipathy,
And the child enters the earth’s atmosphere,
Breathing with much little pressure, than an adult,

Is this child, a ‘One hundred percent”,
Perfectly fit, child of tomorrow?
Doe this child know what the world will offer,
Once he or she has grown to adult years?

The strength of men and the compassion of women,
A whole strength of life that offers a strong challenge,
As the seconds, minutes, hours, days, moths and years,
Shall test the sorrow by one drop of your tears.

Words will never cover the scenic picture,
Of a new born child of this day.
The mother-reaching climax of her nine-month pain,
To bring in a terrific result and reward, after tremendous inhaling of breathes.

The father has done his job, once she is found pregnant,
But the intense close care will bring them close,
To the extent that he will be by her side,
Watching and comforting her, in all that immense time.
