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 229 - The Sun To Darkness - 10/11/1987

With the sun cooling the air, from the heat,
The wind blows right across my startled face,
To witness the turning on of the bright city lights,
To see such a magnificent red glow of the sun disappearing.

To watch the standing commuters await for their own bus to arrive,
Whilst no one says anything to anyone as no one knows him or her all.
Speechless looks of no interest are indivualy shared,
As I think of a way to approach anybody for any word of discussion.

Then, I talk like a dumbly, feeling stupid outside,
Whilst my happiness in emotions are being felt inside.
I wonder whether to make other people happy is to make me laugh first,
Or is it better to make the last laugh, before everybody else.

And here it is dark, not to be found a spark from the sun,
You can see the people rush to get their buses,
You can feel just a fresh very light wind, rush across the street,
While I’m left standing there in a stupor of amazement.
