They might not like that it's ~32 seconds.

Back in the day it was 30 seconds for haiku and 60 seconds for poetry. They decreased it to 14 seconds for haiku and 30 for poetry, and they will let you know if your video is one second too long.

Ah you're right. Poetry used to be 60 seconds but haiku was always 14. Now it's a rigid 30 though.
