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 94 - Strange I Feel - 16/5/1986

To be seen, there’s no city from two hundred metres,
All around me, while I travel on an autobus.
Just inches away, sit people I do not know,
Yet, outside this autobus is the world we live in.

The same trip in and the same trip out,
Is there anyway that these trips will eventually stop,
to be no stops, no traveling and no people around?
I cannot answer that that is decided by others.

Yet, we all run everyday to meet our daily requirements,
To do what has to be done or what’s not to be done.
Is this human rat race coming to be exhaustive?
Though people don’t give a damned, of themselves?

The chances of survival, every single Australian has the opportunity,
To what advantage they use their time, brain and direction.
Affects each one of us in every single day, that is lived,
No matter whether, we all fail or all succeed, we would learn from each other.

Strange, I feel that I don’t know these travelers,
Strange, that these travelers don’t know me sight.
Yet, the people I know don’t travel in the same,
Maybe new explorations of relations to others.

Why there are unanswered questions of lives?
When the single life on earth is a beautiful creation.
Life is such a wonderful experience, we all go through,
Making new explorations of relations to others.

Maybe there are answers to all questions unanswered,
Maybe there are questions to be answered,
Well, each one of us know the answers to our own true life,
But we cannot supply all others for others.
