Notes About The Poem

6/16/2026 for Reclaim Creativity Poetry Contest sponsored by Suzette Richards 

Four-Letter Word

LOVE - this state, one day befalls
each heart's FOUR-chambered walls,
when into it, it strangely falls. 
In love's quartet, each RUNE spells FATE, 
and then it is too late.                         

Decoded message: Love is a four-rune fate.
