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 185 - Sports 'Gold And Green' - 8/10/1996

This is the time when the sporting season changes over,
All the crowds that flourished over to see their winter sports.
Now the turn of summer is around the corner,
The little crowds will cheer when the right time is due.

There aren’t any sports that have just been invented.
There aren’t any sports, which aren’t taken seriously.
For it leaves the individual, to perform to a high class,
To represent the famous ‘Gold and Green’ of its own country.

The competition is not so easy………as others may stand in your way,
But when ever you take a chance on the field,
The yelling voices of the hidden crowds will outcry,
To boost you’re emotional feeling of both internally and externally.

Very few individuals survive their sport, with years of being on top,
Very few will take an injury for being hurt on the grass.
A lot will remain consistent, within their own abilities to use their skills,
And just a few will be paralyzed, or even killing themselves.

The killing sports would be: motorcar racing, bobsled racing,
Motorbike racing and other forms of heavy duty racing,
To the sports of rugby League, Union, Aussie rules, soccer, cricket,
Athletics, swimming marathons or hard endurance races.

Leaving the lighter, pleasant and enjoyable sports:
Tennis, badminton, squash, and ten pin bowling.
Swimming and diving, bicycle riding/racing, gymnastics,
To canoeing, kayaking and all sorts of rowing events.

This gives you a split up of all the cautious sports,
Yet, if you don’t believe me,
Then don’t remain as a spectator,
But be cool, calm relaxed and ‘Good sport’!
