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 225 - Sun Burnt Feeling - 2/11/1987

There are times I feel like (jokingly) killing myself,
There are times I feel like listening to my conscience,
And of course times I haven’t heard from anyone else,
Which leaves me to say, ‘What a fool I am, at times’.

Taking my girl to Bondi Beach just to sun bake and have a little dip,
Well, I could have stayed all day, just staring at bare boobs,
Of which, sometimes were planted in front of your face,
But of course, I enjoyed the warm soaking sun on my back.

After hours of no suntan lotion splashed on my body,
My pains of intensive heat started to cause that sun burnt feeling,
I arrived home, with no sweat to bear,
But plenty of moans and groans, as I lay bare.

Silly me, I’ve learnt my lesson,
Silly me, the results are being shown,
Silly me will never do that again,
For Christ’s sake, I don’t want pain!
