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 198 - Bearded Men - 21/1/1987

Once out of adolescence for a young man,
He may want to try to grow hair, on his face.
This maybe so, if there is something wrong with his personality,
And he wants to spring up to his girlfriend, his new surprise.

To start of, there are five ways you could grow a beard,
All of which are easy to do.
It’s just a matter of time and patience,
Before you will obtain a perfect result on your face.

The first, is to grow an ‘Elvis Presley’ side burn,
Which will turn on the teenage girls, to show red faces,
Or you either have a moustache that is groomed,
To curl the ends of the moustache, pointing up!

To be smart and to look so presentable,
You grow a neat moustache whilst every day; cutting its length,
Or to grow a complete ‘Goatee’, to suit yourself,
Or a full-length beard, to keep the flies away!
