I don't understand why you failed to give artist Eddie Mendoz credit for his artwork entitled The Last Train. Also, why did you crop off the bottom? In the original, the girl appears to have just one leg.
Also, I don't understand how you and some of your reviewers can suggest that the artwork deals optimistically about moving forward in a positive manner. In the piece the train has obviously left the station a long time ago, as evidenced by the massive green overgrowth everywhere, both on the tracks and in the station.
The poor young woman, complete with cat, carries a gas mask and other survival utensils. She is looking forlornly at the )last car( of the )last train( with her )last chance( for hope and survival, now gone.
This one-legged woman hoped to leave the Disaster Zone. The )last train(is stuck between stations, as evidenced by the red light.
For those more optimistic readers who feel the train is )arriving(, note the lights and signage face the driver of the train. The red light and growth on the track, suggest the )last train( has not moved for some time.
Also, note the angled mirror, set for the driver to view the length of the platform and any more passengers. It only shows more greenery beyond the rear of the camera.

I'm sorry you didn't like it. I don't know who this Eddie person is. My friend had this picture on her phone I asked if i could use it and it is used as given. I'm not sure who Eddie mendez is but I'll be happy to take it down and from now on. I shall use my own artwork. I have no intention of offending anyone thank you for your comments have a nice day.
PS. I certainly do have credit for the picture listed in my author's notes cause. I'm not sure how to make it appear at up the top. I am new i've never written stuff in my life except for the last six weeks so if i'm making a mistake it's an honest one.

So true that just standing there gets us nowhere. Jump on that train and go for it.
This is a beautiful presentation in word and in choice of artwork to complement the verse.
Best of luck in the contest.

This is a good entry to the 8-word contest. The text is a good size. The message is stated with clarity, and it is easy to understand. The AN also helps with the understanding. Your visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

This eight-word poem, Acceptance, has the proper formatting and allows that our plans will not always roll out as we want, but we must move on anyway. Plan accordingly.

This is an interesting entry for the eight words contest. It cannot be understated that life and its twists and turns will happen whether we think we are at the helm or not. As you quite rightly state - ride instead... enjoy it.

Your basic keeping's life is what life is going to be. We can drive ourselves crazy fighting against it. Or we can just get on the train and ride with it hopefully that makes sense. Thank you so much for the review and for going through it and offering your comments. It's very important I thank you for have a great day!
Comment from lyenochka
That's a refreshing perspective. Instead of those slogans to "Seize the day" and to fighting against the current, you take a peaceful approach to life, to enjoy the ride. Best wishes in the contest!

You are very welcome, and I appreciate your reply. I don't think you need to improve anything. It is a very good poem that encourages the reader to think about it. And that is a good thing. You have a great day, too.
Comment from Sarah Das Gupta
The picture is amazing and so appropriate. The text gives valuable advice. The answer to many issues in life is to stop moaning- just get on with it!
More easy to say than to do!
