To carry a load on one's shoulders

To carry a load on one's shoulders
Unwanted burden that shudders
Careful not to create blunder
Confront head-on the answer
Clear conscience with no upsets
Rid it off at the onset
To carry a load on one's shoulders
Unwanted burden that shudders

Note: The Octelle, created by Emily Romano, 
with a syllable count structure of 8, 8, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 
and the rhyme scheme of aa/bb/cc/aa. The first two 
lines and the last two lines are identical.

  2. Some burdens are too heavy for one's shoulders.
    Good poem and thought provoking Hank.

  3. Ah... I thought only the first and last line were the same.
    I think we all carry too many burdens.
    When we have others to share the load life is much better.
