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 62 - To A Lady I Know - 9/4/1984


May I write a poem of hope for one lady,
Who has recently moved to that big city.
Financial, working in an easy country town,
Selling life assurance, with no frowns.

She finds it hard, to get to know this city,
Yet by herself, she has decided to live in Sydney.
I know she has tried to find her feet on the ground,
As true friendship in Sydney, is hard to find.

This lovely lady has found a good school for her teenage daughter,
And she would like to help me get off my feet, as well.
Yet, I would like to give her many leads, from work,
As I know, it would be like working for her in the dark (with the light turned on bright).

I may be young, but I would like to be,
As good as can be to anyone.
It’s my turn to help as much as I can,
As it’s better to use two hands, than one!
