Image: A Burden to Shoulder (here)
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.

Such a burden can sure weigh heavy
ReplyDeleteSome burdens are too heavy for one's shoulders.
ReplyDeleteGood poem and thought provoking Hank.
Yvonne.
Ah... I thought only the first and last line were the same.
ReplyDeleteI think we all carry too many burdens.
When we have others to share the load life is much better.
