Hi Kaiku!

Best wishes for the New Year.

My hope this poem is just imagination. However, it carries a strong message, in a few words, either way for other reviewers.

You did it again. You are the master of a few words. You captured the essence of the matter in just 8 words; that is a gift.
Best wishes for winning the contest.

Your words are so true. Like your poem. When you have a broken heart, the burdens are present. Broken heart syndrome is a temporary heart condition that's often brought on by stressful situations.

This eight-word poem, Burden, has the proper word count and notes that the heart is a heavy load when not buoyed by love and affection. WE must protect them.

This is a good 8 words poetry entry. The text is an okay size, but it could be larger. The message is clearly stated and easily understood. The visual fits the text well. Good luck in the contest.
