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 145 - A Mix Up, Never To Be - 29/7/1986

What happen to us last Sunday?
Could happen to anyone, at all.
At least we can say that,
That is was both of us to blame.

To meet at an agreeable time and place,
To ensure that we’d both are there on time,
It was the necessary arrangements, for us to both go out,
And to talk, eat, laugh and enjoy the game ahead.

It was to be our first time for us,
To go out and watch the big game of VFL.
But as things turned out,
We were to be there individually, on our own.

I didn’t like waiting too long for Carla,
But when I think about it, I should’ve,
Only twenty-five minutes waiting and then I decided to leave,
Poor Carla, arrived five minutes after and then left the SCG ground, as well.

Never once did I have in my mind,
A thought of Carla being at the SCG, as well.
I think that she thinks, that I was never there, at all.

To keep herself at complete rest,
To produce the proof that is true.
Well ‘Carla’, you better trust me in what I told you,
Cause I have complete faith in her, all through.

Next time, there’ll be no next time like that,
In fact, I’ll surely make sure of that.
We’ll meet near or at each other’s homes,
And not end up in a mix up, life that.
