This is lovely in its simplicity, and I love the graphic you chose. It actually looks heavy. It also makes me want to read more of your work. Thanks for a great read to end the New Year.

So true, your poem expresses the feel of a broken heart. The heaviness, hopelessness and the sadness. I need to read them all before voting, but your poem is most relatable. Good luck with the contest.

Your poem has all the elements that describe a sad, gloomy feeling. The dark background ( black heart) are clues to a desolate feeling. You chose very strong and meaningful words which add power to the poem.
Well done

I think your choice of a broken heart theme is perfect for this prompt. You have done a wonderful job in using the 8 words you are given to their best purpose... strong writing with a relevant and understandable message. Well done and good luck in the contest.

Your post satisfies the rule of the writing prompt. The darkness of the picture ties in with the poem's subject, which is a broken heart. It is something we have all felt at one time or another. Something that only time can heal.

You have written eight very heavy and power-filled words. The image perfectly supports your words. Well done. I am pleased with the message and your choices. Thank you for sharing.

Spot on with this. A breaker heart is egregious. True dat! There is also no better joy then a healed one from a new love.

Incredible entry for so few words. Strong, poignant, and dark!

Thank you for sharing!

These 8 words are powerful and quite possibly a broken heart is the heaviest burden the heaviest burden of all. I certainly can't think of much heavier. An excellent choice of words for this contest that is complete in all it encapsulates. Best wishes for the contest.

So well stated and succinct in only eight words. The art completes cinches the presentation.

Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest. Sally :))

Any of the Broken-hearted would quickly agree with what you say.
I like how you convey this "heaviness" by using words that begin with B as well as a three-syllable word like "heavier."
