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 262 - Nonsense Poem - 3/2/1988

To sit in such a position to be replaced,
To be writing freely, in a free country with a free name,
To be listening to the hits of ‘Beach Boys’,
Singing, ‘I can hear the music’.

Such comfort, such beautifulness,
Such bullshit! Such messiness,
My fingers right digit hand is in little pain,
My thumb feels numb!

So why do I keep on writing?
Why do I feel so happy and content?
Why is my pen still flowing,
 Like the rivers flowing calmly like ‘Niagara falls’?

By now, usually I would fall myself to sleep and wake up to a time after midnight,
To find that my own record to write a total of poems in one day,
Has not been broken, but yesterday I did eight,
And tonight I write this nonsense poem.
