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 71 - Carol, Still So Young - 5/6/1987

A dearest person I know for quite a long time,
Always bright and thoughtful, with consideration.
Carol, still so young with a lively heart, ever breathing,
To her, everyone she knows is part of her living.

Sometimes, I regret having arguments with her,
But this brings out the best of survivors.
Apology is my return to Carol, if pressured by others,
As that’ll wipe off any hurt, of those worries.

Suggestive to her, I always agree but never listen,
As Carol to me, seems to know about any man’s reaction.
You can’t tell carol is a stupid woman,
As young as she is, she really shows her brilliance.

At times, since I’ve known her, she is somewhat mixed up,
Not knowing which result and direction, she’ll take.
It’s funny, as to me we are just good friends,
Even if one of us leaves work, our friendship will never end.

I do feel like a male chauvinist-pig,
If I win any fights, between us,
But at least, I’ll eventually think twice,
To keep us in our peace and paradise.

If any-a-time Carol needs me,
To listen or talk too quite freely,
I will immediately stop everything,
Lend a hand, ear or anything.

God, carol loves the life she’s living,
Do not harm for any part of her life,
As I can understand her, when she decides to be a wife,
Not wanting to bring in this world, a little child.
