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 176 - Megan: A Punnet Of Chips - 19/9/1986

A punnet of chips’, is what Megan asked for,
With the background and accent of a New Zealander.
To meet on a train station and talk for a time,
Is something of amazement, to my understanding.

Many times on city streets or shops, I’ll try to talk to unknown people,
Trying to cheer up their hearts and sad souls.
I sometimes get, ‘Get fucked!’ or ‘Well done’! results,
And mostly no results are felt, at all.

But an incredible achievement was made on last Saturday,
To approach and speak to a girl of unknown qualities.
This girl (I thought when I first met), was twenty,
But to my surprise, she was sweet young seventeen.

We chattered of all different topics,
On the train, Mathew was bored and left aside,
For the train journey, traveled in my distance,
To a two game ten pin bowling night, of sexual desire.

The rest of the night was such a disaster,
That I couldn’t touch or near a young girl of sweet kisses.
A young non-Australian of kiwi-tongue: licking of taste,
The splendor of such sweet femininity of our world.

WHAT A NICE GENUINE WORLD WE LIVE IN!!!
