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 189 - 'Goodbye To Carla' - 14/10/1986

Well, it’s been ‘Goodbye to Carla!’ for over one week,
For the six months that we had shared together,
Has given me a prolonged sense of lasting love,
At least, I can say she cheated me.

As a complete mature twenty-fiver,
I know that this breakdown was due to me, and how I felt.
That is, a feeling of not being tied down,
A feeling of being pushed, just to go out socializing on weekends.

I left her with hurt, but only just a small touch,
To be waiting upon her, hours upon hours.
With my total frustrations hitting the top, boiling point of water,
While revenge was given to her, by using her own medicine.

There is no hatred that is within myself, of her,
But there will always be remembrance of good times.
I would like her to be strong with herself,
Just like muscles flexing, in and out, by herself.
