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 211 - The Wife - 18/9/1987

Sleepiness and tiredness shown on wintry nights,
T’is not the reason of being such alike.
Though, the countless trips to and from work and home,
Can present a different story of the thoughts of one’s own.

Anxious to get back home to bed the wife for the night,
Whilst the wife fears of the food preparation ahead,
And cuddles her children with words of a human housewife,
Then ponders of wild dreams of murder, for the husband arriving late.

His drunkenness shows no respect for the family,
Her questions, a little to make him feel left out.
But to no avail he awakened the very next morning,
And demands for his wife to make bed and breakfast for him.

Angers feelings grow in her heart of broken glass,
She hides these feelings when her children speak to her.
She telephone calls her mother and also her best girlfriend,
As they comfort her from making her mind, go round the world.

Lead her not into darkness; she pretends to commit murder,
But he that has caused this entire nightmare only wanted her for money.
Rich as she may have been, before the children were born,
The memorial rose he gave to her (just ten years ago), she thorns!
