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 238 - Christmas Cheers - 24/12/1987

How drowsed am I after a few Christmas cheers,
To be toasting and celebrating to a feast of a home.
Now married, with no children in view of the near future,
There is a completely different that accompanies me.

No means of destroying the things that has to be done,
As they will be the traditional happenings of each day and of each year.
To be ‘the happy’ as the family wants you to be,
To feel the ‘electric emotion’ of unbeaten happiness.

Yet, as the morning after comes to dawn,
The bubbly cheers and laughter come from loud to unseen,
The moonlight that lasted as long as an hour or so,
Was disappearing like the sun being tanned to an icy cold snow
.
No voices of neighbours could be heard from the unborn outside the sun,
The stubbornness of myself let out steams of cry,
For thousands of reasons of ‘I don’t know why’,
But most of all, of importance was my wife had fun.
