Relationships Shaping Poems

While D.H. Lawrence wrote about issues in emotional health, his life as grown man gave him experience with what a women can cause, this is what gave D.H. Lawrence a unique way of describing emotional problems. D.H. Lawrence life changed over the short 44 years that he lived, although he didn't live long, he sure wrote hundreds of poems that illustrated his life as a child, as well as his later years which led to his death in 1930. Lawrence life was divided into a couple sections in which Lawrence's life changed for the good and bad. These changes that he experienced in his life got represented in some of his poems. Some of his life chapters were his childhood in Nottingham, in which he had a rough time growing up with his parents because of there differences. The time in which he had a lot of emotion in him was when he met his wife, Frieda. Frieda had a big impact on D.H. Lawrence because of the love that he had for her. He wrote many poems, and other writings about him and her, and how there relationship would often be. He writes what he thinks and shows about her. Some poems about this experience would be, "what would you fight for", in which Lawrence truly what things are worth fighting for and which he does not truly care for that a great deal. Another is "To Women, As Far As I'm Concerned", in this poem Lawrence speaks of how he has some feelings for Frieda, and the feelings that Frieda does not have for him. And in the end he speaks that feelings should just be left alone, and to just abandon them as is. One poem in which part of his life is portrayed is "What would you fight for?", in this poem he is describing what things he though were worth fighting for and which events were not as crucial:

I am not sure I would always fight for my life. Life might not be worth fighting for. I am not sure I would always fight for my wife. A wife isn't always worth fighting for. Nor my children, nor my country, nor my fellow-men. It all depends
