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 174 - 'Paddi' Of Richness Of Color

Such a sweet lovable ‘Paddi’ is she,
She responses to deep red beauty,
Not the beauty of purple (which shows anguish),
It is the red blood, of life and generosity.

She’s no longer a poor Irish Paddi with sadness and no prosperity,
Her gold is how she is with the richness of color.
The colors of the rainbow, that glows in the dark,
That the tree of Brendan’s love doesn’t need the bark tree.

For Brendan of young bearded blue,
Paddi is the latest of young and new.
Her body and Irish appearance grow to maturity,
One day she’ll leave Australia. She’ll leave with joy!

Paddi’s brother who’ll remain here will shed tears,
With his size and strength. He’ll be able to look after himself.
There’ll be a few people over here she’ll miss,
But back at home; they’ll all have missed her with love (especially her mother: Ann).

The experience of friendship from two countries shows strength,
The strength of love and humanity of all kind.
There’s a difference between friends of Ireland and Australia,
She’ll never forget the “Aussie Beer” as against to the “Irish coffee”!
