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 95 - Pretty Girl - 19/5/1986

Hello! Are you there pretty girl?
Do you hear my heart beat, pounding?
To the sounds of a fifties rock and roll band?
Can you imagine me standing up, oh so tall?

Oh, how I miss you being with me, now?
Is it true? Is it true that your love is with me?
Oh, how your voice sounds so close to me,
Is it that you are standing right behind me/?

Oh Carla! You’re so sweet, imagine and of course a mature woman,
Is there anything you want in this world besides being so loved?
Isn’t it great that you are starting on your footsteps?
Climbing and climbing the steps that your parents created?

Now, you will be another workingwoman,
Don’t you feel joy, within your physical body?
Isn’t there anytime in this day, that you don’t like?
Is there someone who you think annoys you, in anyway?

The barriers that are in front of you,
Will not vanish unless you help them too.
So, get your strength together and fight for yourself,
For you are just like anyone, within this human race.

God loves you as much as you love him,
Tender romantic hearts will widen your life.
To share what you deserve to share,
That being; friendship, love for parents and close friends.
