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 99 - Wishes For Good Luck - 22/5/1986

There was a young boy called, “JFK”,
Who I’ve known only through work, for a while now.
His nickname is “Hyper”,
And he enjoys his girls higher.

One day this young boy,
Had decided to buy wheels,
Instead of a car,
He’d get himself a two-wheeler.

At work “JFK” is a practical joker,
Just like a few others, who did it for laughter.
If it was one joke not to be,
It happened to poor little Johnny.

After having his scooter delivered to work,
He’d be delighted to show the bike off.
Riding it up and down the back lane,
While men at work are watching him, from a crane.

As he did go to lunch to see someone leave work,
He turned up back to work, in a drunken-sod state.
His scooter was a passion, of which he was thrilled,
For the last couple of months, had been rough on him.

The scooter wasn’t to be found.
The scooter disappeared!
And that had been stolen, the unsecured scooter,
In temper and frustration he over-reacted.

Cheer up “JFK”! It happens to all of us,
For it may pop and the Police, they locate.
So don’t go for broke or even bust,
Take it easy and we will wish you ‘Good luck’.

AS WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU!
