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 265 - I Dream To Meet - 8/2/1988

Last night arrived my Aunty Lucette and Uncle Andre,
It will be the first time when I will meet them one night on Tuesday,
My heart is so excited: my eyes are so delighted,
For my wife and myself to be meeting more of our family.

Little do they know I am so pleased they are here,
To be joining a pert of their lives in our bi-centennial year,
For they that laughed so much, had so much fun looking after, Mamman”,
Brings out tears of joy that explode from my eyes.

At first it was cousin Catherine, whom was bubbly all inside,
Then Olivier was fun, good and naughty,
But now, today (or tomorrow) the dream I dream to meet my ‘Lucette’ and ‘Andre”,
Has arrived after years of lonesome no happiness.
