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 173 - Man, Grown Man - 14/9/1986

For someone who is a current non-alcoholic,
It isn’t hard to spot his liquors drinks.
He may camouflage his glass with his gross hands,
But never will he drink lightly, on the side.

For someone who likes practicable jokes at work
He will never mean to act so young.
With looks of a twenty year old,
There is a bright smile on his face, to be sold.

Sold to the top forty lists of acquaintances,
Of young illegal sexual age.
For he who never stops with girls,
Will always have a good start.
May he who not smoke,
If so, only once every three months,
Be smart in not introducing me to his friend,
Who, same like me, does smokes.

At least, he’ll grow out of his immaturity,
But only time will take its course,
To result with a man-grown-man,
And on his feet, take his feet on the stand.

The ladies say that he is smart,
But the ones that say that to him are tarts.
The guys all look at him, as a macho-man image,
And then, they throw him for a show, on his own stage.
