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 210 - Important Campaign - 15/9/1987

On the twenty-sixth of September, ninety eighty-seven,
There will be a Statewide Local Government Election.
And in the Municipal Election in Waverley,
The Liberal party will duly be elected.

For Richard Davidson who’ll win the Ward of Lawson,
For Jim Markham who’ll win the Ward of Waverley,
For Carolyn Markham who’ll win the Ward of Bondi,
And Derek Nathan who’ll win the Ward of Hunter.

They will all work hard in the important campaign,
To bring the promises of the party to the Waverley community,
To remember that all the promise of the last election,
Have been received well throughout the whole Municipality.

The Bondi Junction redevelopment program,
The Bondi Beach beautification to restore the buildings.
And to redevelop the Hotel of Bondi Beach for business and for tourism purposes,
But to the State government that had blocked this development ‘with rocks in their head’!
