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 168 - My Friend 'Ron Morris' - 8/9/1986

For Ron Morris who drinks to no end,
A lot of ‘booze’ to the hilt.
It doesn’t matter whom he is with,
But any ‘freebees’, will put a smile back on his face.

A good friend of mine for over two years,
Somebody who won’t let you down, any day.
Somebody, who you can joke and laugh, everyday,
And also somebody who you can seriously talk and listen too.

Our beliefs in politics are the same,
Our beliefs in woman are all the same,
For we’ll gamble a bit together,
To obtain a profit of some kind.

For Ron, whose lead an active life, in younger years,
For Ron, who will comfort you at home.
Watching the favorite sport on VFL,
At least, I favor the ‘Swans’ and he, the ‘ Carlton Blues’.
