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 226 - Life Goes On... - 2/11/1987

For us, we live our lives in unplanned succession,
We speak to others every while or so,
To give and take enjoyment of others,
While we recognize their existence, in our society.

Much of this daily, weekly, monthly or annual visitation,
Releases an atmospheric condition of comfort and total relaxation.
Yet, we cannot all speak to everyone in one instance,
We have to plan the amount of time and volume required,
As to what’s being said to put everyone at ease,
And to put ideas into today’s world of reality.

Death to us doesn’t mean much to us,
Unless we personally suffer directly from friends and or relatives!
And when it does, it happens in an instance of schock,
Yet after a few weeks of time passes by, life goes on...

Life goes on until the next news of tragedy comes about,
There is no first warning, just the last: which is death.
Death is of all kinds: massacres, killing, suicide,
Homicide, accidents and of course all of a sudden death.

Everyone treats death as unhappy part of life,
And so it is!
Everyone knows that they ‘themselves’ are the lucky ones still alive,
And so they are!

Life after death goes on…
