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 86 - So Blind - 15/5/1985

I feel like a sun, shinning so strong,
And no one thinks that she is wrong.
While a coloured rainbow,
That arcs across a river stream, flows.

My eyes look upon your pretty face,
Like I’m in love with you, forever.
Always thinking that I believe in her,
Standing right beside her place.

Whenever I speak to you, it’s just that I am so blind,
Whenever I look at you, I’m thinking of all mankind.
So, it is very true that is why I feel,
That I am falling in love, with you.

When the days will turn darker,
And the nights a little lighter,
I wouldn’t stop loving “Cathie”,
Until the day I stop living and die.

For the flowers are blossoming
That the caterpillars turn to decorated butterflies.
And the country is greener with lots of dew in the pastures,
For the times of wet and sad days can lead to times of joy and happiness.
