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 69 - Cold Air Around - 2/6/1984

Loneliness does not make anyone, really bad,
Nor does it make me feel any bad.
Sometimes, you don’t have anyone to talk too,
It is best then, to go for a long walk.

With my head down, cold air around,
A one-way to only one direction, I am bound.
Darkness and nothing ness, from all sides,
Listening to the water that determines the tides.

I’m almost halfway to letting myself loose,
But at twenty-three, I’ll have nothing to show for myself,
I’m just grateful for being alive and well,
For what I have been through, is just like taking a great big fall
