Untitled Self-Portrait Poem by Bernard Henrie

Bernard - what great imagery. I feel as if I'm taking a glimpse, a stroll, a mood, and a moment with you and your heart. Nice job.

But we can't always live in self pity either. We must pick ourselves up and go out even in the cold, cruel world, and look for the 'one' that will make our hearts happy, and we don't necessarily have to find them in the same city, state, or even country. Bernard men are not the only ones who feel down after an argument where words we regretted were spoken, men are not the only ones that walk out to avoid further confrontation, and men do not have a corner on sitting at a ragtag desk in musty old corner. Women experience this too. The last stanza is really the final seperation from writer and reader, because it ends the poem very well, and very appropriately. A 10 for this Bernard, and thank you for sharing. Hugs, Barbara
