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 237 - Card Sending - 17/12/1987

A simple decision to decide which persons you send a card,
Do you send your wishes to someone you haven’t met in a long time?
Do you send to people, who you have known for a long time,
For the answers are of importance, to yourself.

Think of it this way: every thoughtful card you send,
May bring some happiness to the person that receives your card,
But for every person that doesn’t receive one,
They may not communicate to you for a while or forever.

So be thoughtful around Christmas and New Year’s time,
Cards are to be sent to everyone that you have to send too.
I mean, if you send one and don’t have a return of one,
You will not feel sorry of yourself, as you have done more than your duty.
