unfair
Name: christiene2012-01-03
a father should never get that type of ideas of his children because they are part of his relationship with his wife and its " UNFAIR TO BOTH WIFE AND CHILDREN"

I loved all your poems except this one. That was unexceptable. I can't believe you hold feeling like that inside of you! Why do you say things like that!

To hold a thought like that about your kids, how low. Children are not a trap. Mistakes are often made when it comes to marriage, thats what divorce is for, but dont blame kids for your cowardice in staying in a loveless relationship.

Understanding every word.

The trapped by children comment isn't stating that the children are a trap, but rather that like so many of us, we may be in a loveless relationship because of fear of splitting up and hurting the children. In fact, you love them so much you'd rather live through hell than put them through one.
About your kids

How could you ever talk about your childern that way! Shame on you. You decided to make them, and now you need to understand that nothning matters but them. They love you soooo much. You can not let them down. As far as your wife, you should try to love her. At least for your kids sake. Its no longer about you.
disappointed

Ignore -

Ignore how other's feel about you because it is only your own feelings that matter.
cowards are not men
Name: marisela2010-02-05
All I can say to you is what damn fool. To stay with someone knowing you don't love them only to ruin your life and her life because as we know your dreams and desires are not with your wife. Do your wife a favor please and divorce her she deserves better for is not her fault but the fault of a coward who calls himself a men.
its a poem people

Whilst the author may well have feelings that inspired this poem, we dont have the right to assume it is word for word what his life is really - it is a poem - an expression - not a running commentary of someones life. Its not a chat room, its creative.

hay guys, According to me, A poem is the reflection of the mind of the poet. True feeling won't make a poet so miserable person.
Haunting lovely poem
Name: Caged bird2012-03-08
I liked this. Amazing great poem and it must have taken alot of courage for you to write it.You are not wrong to feel what you feel. Not everyone gets it and is so judgemental. Sometimes in life people go marry the wrong person or are trapped with the wrong person because one or the other are too quick to get married and marry for the wrong reasons. Also some women have a terrible habit of trapping the man with pregnacy.I am a women and yes Im saying this.USE BIRTH CONTROL BITCHES. Also on a deep level young children are not stupid and can feel and see when there parents dont really belong together. My parents didnt belong together and faked there whole horrible marrige and I knew it as a little girl and I was miserable my whole childhood because of my parents bad fake marrige. Sometimes divorce is nessacery. To anyone crital of this poem screw you cause you dont want to get it. You dont know till youve been there. This poem is beautiful,lovely and sad but not wrong.I hope you remedy your situation. Sometimes children are better off with divorced parents. Also I have to say not all mothers are motherly and not all fathers are fatherly.

Whos to say what a steady household is.Sometimes a household isnt steady just cause a couple stays together. Sometimes it becomes steady when the couple divorces and better for the children and all involved. Are people who stay together any happier in there future than they were years ago when they discovered they was no real future in it...or are they just going through the motions and fakeing it. Also if its an abbusive relationship then people SHOULD get out of that.

A heart can only feel what it does...

Hey...the other comments are UNFAIR! Maybe he got a woman pregnant on accident when it was just a sex thing (lust) and was trying to do the right thing by marrying her and raising his child(ren) even at the cost of true love and his hopes and dreams. I say kudos to him for being a stand up man to do the right thing and take on the financial, physical, and emotional responsibilities that are his paternal obligations and man enough to admit how his true heart feels!!! Doesn't mean that his heart is wrong for hurting over it!!!
To Phil
Name: Dena2012-09-28
He traded his true love, his hopes and dreams for a chunk of booty and did what is right out of love for his children and married for lust and for his children. Now the price he has to pay for being DUMB enough to have the lust in the first place he is doomed for the rest of his life to have his heart suffer in pain over those things. At no time did i get the impression that he does not love and care for his children. In fact he is doing right by his children and their mother by making a lifetime commitment to both. You should be giving him praise for being so honorable instead of criticizing him for how his heart has suffered. We do not choose what our hearts feel. Hearts simply feel what they do and good for him to admit it!!!

It is slightly dfnreieft between photography and writing though. Those blogs won't fold if they can't get free photography. Many well known, well paid writers still make the time to throw a freebie at the little mags once in a while just to show their support. I like to think that the literary world is a community and functions as such. Photography is dfnreieft in that sense.

I don't leave many responses, but i did a few seihrcang and wound up here RUNNING POEMS | Running Poem. And I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or does it seem like some of these remarks come across like they are left by brain dead folks? And, if you are writing on additional sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of all your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
