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 73 - Squeezed Of Money - 19/6/1984

There is one extra thing than anything else,
That is to find out that, you are somebody else.
A year or so ago, you were lead by a dog,
Now you are feeling on top of the world.

The hurt you caused to outsiders,
Made you realize that they are not victims,
But a lot more closer friends,
Then you’ve very had before.

You have been squeezed of money,
You have been made unfinancial.
But you live and strive,
To fight for what you originally fought for.

It is not hard for you to induce,
And to be sucked in: by the opposite sex.
But of course, if you are strong and secure,
That sort of situation would put you to the test.

Let’s hope you don’t commit yourself,
To anyone else,
Or you would be definitely,
Be left by yourself, on the shelf.

May time take over from indecision,
Until you have such an excellent vision.
You consider the affect on other humans,
The way you approach and deal with them.

You are very fortunate, to stand on your own two feet,
To prejudge everything, towards our outward look, on life.
Seeing and realizing that not everything is not what it seems,
Like an awakening sun, and it’s rays.

Stand up so tall, even if you are small,
There’s nothing to stop the way you think.
You are the pace bowler,
The way you think can make all of us jump.
