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 158 - In Sickness And In Health..... - 26/8/1986

‘In sickness and in health…’it is known to be said,
By both woman and man who decide to join hands and marry.
But now-a-days, does none care for the health of the other?
Can one still show some real love for one’s weakness?

For the man or woman, that is suffering from terminal illness,
Do you just comfort them with kisses, touch and love,
Or do you just neglect them and let them be sick?
And while doing so say, “I’ll be back in a tick!”

For any kind-hearted human of god’s creatures,
Would surely not ill-treat or not treat at all!
Their own blood-sake fellow men and women,
And leave them out to die on their own.

Help you brotherly needed fellows,
To strengthen in love, personality and prosperity,
And to attain the highest degree of quality,
With all the extra requirements of quality.
