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 266 - Common-sense In Style - 16/2/1988

Time upon time, each and every single day,
You who makes the same journey mostly every day,
Experiences the different bodies of faces,
Of which also travel along the same route.

To men a woman's face is easily forgotten,
 Especially, if he's never seen her before,
And he knows he's never going to see her again,
 So there is no run away tears shed from him.
Where as to women, a face is always memorable,
Each face is recognized for its own merits.
Yet the faces of men are never forgotten,
They feel like wearing these faces on their dresses of medal.
You at times 'pop' your eyes open wide,
And suddenly push everyone aside.
For you want to touch and be with 'her' body',
This woman who has just bent over and showered her pants.

As a woman you prop yourself up and sit up straight,
With your little knees, no rattling, your lips so relaxed,
Ever-so-ready to be unzipping 'his' tight slacks,
To this man, who is just standing over you.

Yet to do these thing, to be able to do,
Is not such of an easy task.
For commons-ense should prevail,
To be using common sense in style.
