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 250 - Good News! - 2/2/1988

Just a few minutes ago, there was a visit from Craig and Sue Mountain,
They come to tell us of their news,
News to me, which may be little sad,
But to my wife she seems glad.

It must be such luck for them to tell us,
They must like us, as we all haven’t spoken for a while,
My wife says she doesn’t like them,
Because they used to come and talk to us a lot.

But to me, they were only being their own friendly persons,
They put a good word for us to the Real Estate Agent,
They wanted us as friends as they probably needed some,
But I used to get into trouble by my wife, in words said.

My wife used to say, ‘So you make love with Sue?’
And \I used to reply, ‘And you make love with Craig?’
But this grew from jokes to seriousness,
I promised I wouldn’t speak to them or invite them to our place again.

So now they are telling us that they want to move,
Move to a bigger flat further down south.
A flat they will pay more rent,
A flat they will put themselves at rest.

They are sick tired of telling number 5 to clear their garbage,
And number 2 complaining about number 6 (hey, that’s us!),
And complaining of numbers eight and number 3,
Whilst number 6 (us) complained to number 5, of a kitten from number 1 (Sue and Craig).

Yet number 4 and number 7are quiet!
If you understand of all the complaints,
Then you could ad this to you list,
Number 6 complaining about number 2’s baby’s constant crying!
