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 243 - Something For Nothing - 10/1/1988

Upset for no person but blame, I did,

It was such a day like the day before,
That I got upset for something that was for nothing,
Looking, searching, searching and yelling, blaming my wife.

But that was wrong, totally wrong of me,
Yet for minutes by minutes I was all-alone,
Just to find where my cigarettes had gone,
And after all that, I found them by the phone.

My love I apologized to her immediately,
With no straightaway answer I expect at all.
With forgiveness of sweet flowers all fresh,
I pleaded and begged for her forgiveness for my mind.

Yet, we had not expected to fight and love as we do,
We have told each other, even before our day of marriage,
That we will love each other forever and ever,
Yet, with this love will come equal shares of arguments.

For if two people of opposite sex and same feelings towards each other,
Do not have a rocky road on their way to total devotion towards each other,
And there was not even a tiny noise or abuse or upset that was shared between themselves,
This could not be forever, as they haven’t really got the love God’s given them.
