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 152 - What's In A Name? - 11/8/1986

My name means a lot to me,
My face, I cannot stand.
My chin, I cannot see,
As it is covered by growth of mainly fuzz.

My teeth, feel so disjointed,
My neck, to short to bob up,
My shoulders are never so broad,
And now I feel like a toad.

My belly seems to overgrow,
My thighs cannot make me stretch so hard and long,
And yet, my feet still keeps me standing high,
While unconsciously, I don’t know which way I’ll walk.

To me, I’m all there!
Not just bone, but Braun as well!
To me, I don’t really have a care,
What’s in a name, like mine?
