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 199 - To Be Found And Cared - 2/2/1987

A sad touch of what thought to be a delightful moment,
Made a light change to my own excitement.
Such that, it was ‘Julie’ had never called me,
That was the end of a small beginning!

My heart; not so strong was befitting,
Waiting for at least another night out or two.
But, as it turned out for better or for worse,
Again, it was I, at who was left at the tail end of a horse.

There are other options (of the other sex), out there,
To be found and cared for on my own field.
There are more than ample activities for me to work on,
To occupy my mind on clean, pure and innocent things.

At least, I didn’t leave ‘Julie’ pregnant,
To leave her on her own, to be self-feeding a child.
No bastard on earth should leave a woman like that!
To be left finding any kind of crusts of bread, in the street.
