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 180 - Ron Morris: My Good Old Friend Of Years - 27/9/1986

Ron Morris: a good friend whether drunk or sober,
Has been a great assistance with me for over two years.
We do not use each other within the word: friendship,
We rely on continual communication and discuss major problems.

These problems may be mostly political,
But we help each other, by words of advice.
Some people can’t stand his attitude of appearing stone drunk at functions,
But Ron is only human and can take little pain.

His nice side (of which everyone has!), ids the care of his parents,
Although around their middle seventies and eighties, both his mum and dad come first.
A staunch Carlton supporter (VFL), since younger years,
He’ll watch every game they play, until they take home ‘The Cup’,

Ron’s been supporting the ‘Liberals’ in campaigns of fifteen years,
And by true Aussie nature, the colors he’ll wear for joy.
And like me, he likes to assist in the organization of the party,
Because he’s in there, with spirit and he’ll back up the right people.

If anyone bad-mouths Ron, for any reason at all,
I tell him instantly, so he is aware.
I do not say this to him just to create a stir,
I do so, so Ron is put in the right picture.
