If your husband writes about a poem that has to do with infraution for another woman does it mean anthing?he says he just writes things like that just to write them and that it has no meaning at all to him.Its just weird he wrote it after some girl wrote something just like it and gave it to him and he also said that had no meaning towards him and hat she wrote it before she meet him.Its just weird how they both wrote the same .maybe im just over reactting but it seems to me afther all the poems i have read that he wrote they all have a meaning to him

I won't presume to guess what's going on in your husband's mind or heart, but can only offer my own perspective...\n\nI've written several romantic poems. All of them are from the heart, not just "intellectual exercises" -- however with only ONE exception, none of these poems really had a specific woman as the intended recipent. And the one that did, well, she's now my wife.\n\nSo yes, poems can both mean something and not be serious in the way that is troubling you. Does that make sense?\n\nThat said, swapping flirty poetry with another woman? I think you would be justified in not condoning that type of behavior.

Welllll...I belong to a poetry workshop online, and if I reviewed your poem, I might say something like this: Your poem is filled with obvious pain and honest emotion, however I feel in some places your creativity is compromised by the rhymes...by which I mean you are stretching to achieve rhyme in places, using things that otherwise might not fit the best, like "hardware in his ears" and watching him like a "bear". The repetition of bloodstain and drip are a bit much. The image of red blood on your white shirt is good-you should play that up a bit maybe. Poetry is hard work-keep writing and good luck! And please don't cut yourself over a guy, or anything else, btw. I hope that part is just poetic license. :)

The point of the poem is not really what it means... because what it means is basically what you read. There is no underlying deep, philosophical meaning to it. It is a simply, living poem. When you read it, its supposed to "conjure" up the images, the sounds, the tastes, etc. It's the imagery thats strong and important. The meaning of the poem is really basic, so I won't tell you specifically tell you what it is. But my answer is a hint.

Chris..if he wrote to me a poem sort of that was his promise to me for the rest of my life. My husband did that for me. You can't buy that anywhere!!!!!

Wow that's pretty deep. I think you are a good poet. I love writing poetry too. Keep up the good work! If you get some negative answers on here just ignore them because some people will just try to be mean to hurt your feelings. Don't be discouraged though, keep on writing. You can only get better.

Wow, I'm sorry but...what? I don't understand hardly a thing that you wrote. Please fix your writing next time. Anyhow, from what I can tell? Dump him. There is to much drama in this relationship for what's it worth. You deserve a guy who respects you and you deserve the best. We all do. Good luck and God bless.

This person was an important part of his life in the past. Regardless of the fact the she was a past girlfriend, she was obviously a good friend of your husbands. You don't say how long it has been, but you should allow him enough time to grieve his loss. People deal with death in different ways. If he needs space, give it to him. Perhaps he feels strange grieving around you because it was an ex-girlfriend. Maybe he doesn't want to hurt your feelings by showing his feelings for another woman. Whatever the case may be, I am sure he will come around in time once he has dealt with his loss.

In all honesty it is such a lovely poem but once u get to the additional info @ 2 minutes, it is a little bit too full on. I personally am a very romantic sensitive person who also writes stuff, but it goes too deep even for someone like me at that point. Despite this if a guy wrote me that poem i would go totally mushy anyway!

O.K.    I have searched and searched for this poem...Is there possibly a different title??? I ADORE and LOVE Leonard Cohen but I am at a loss on how to help you....I was hoping that someone else would step up because I was dieing to know the answer myself!!! I'm so sorry.

a poem about life --- from birth to death...\n\nbut when i read it it sounded much like a song...probably because of the repetitive lines that appear at the end of each verse... honestly I understand the verses except the lines about his ways/ his days... and I don't understand why those two lines need to be repeated so much and then it's not even the title.. sorry\n\noh I think "With desperate fire, his gray will sets to blaze" should be "With desperate fire, his gray will set to blaze"\n\ncontinue writing...much luck!

An interesting and sometimes-lovely poem. It's an acknowledgment of where and how the writer connects to his origins.\nPoetry doesn't need to make sense.  Like religion, it is often irrational.

Ok, you're in the wrong category for poetry.\n\nOr for relationships.\n\n\nAnd the poem is extremely depressing and morose.  If this is how you feel IRL, you need to see a doctor for your depression.

it's not a sonnet. sonnets have very specific patterns.\nI'd need to see the actual poem to tell you more.

Looked it up on line - seems like a rambling repetitive tirade.  Congratulations to you if you read the whole thing, I gave up after 30 lines or so.  There are a few words that some people feel are offensive.  There comes a time in peoples' lives where they have to get used to seeing and hearing them, even if they don't like it.  Should a teacher force a student who is uncomfortable with the words to read them out loud in front of the class?  No.  Should a fourth grade teacher assign it?  No.  Should a teacher downgrade a student if the student says "I read it and it's too bad the poet couldn't get his point across without cursing?"  No.  What happened: did a parent complain that his child was forced to read it?  A parent of a public school child should have that right.  And I accuse the poet of rambling!
