The author's words are clear, interesting and creative. The poem
flows and connects well. The last line says it all. The artwork is
perfect and compliments this poem.

I really enjoyed reading this...and I hope the hourglass doesn't run out before the right person comes along. This beautiful girl shouldn't worry too much about that, however, because time is being very kind to her and she's gorgeous. It is definitely going to get noticed, and if it is by Prince Charming, the uncertainty and fear will rapidly disappear.

"Anticipation", is short, succinct and very much to the point. With a minimum of words, this talented poet has told it as it is. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.

I think your poem is cute. When you say you're not quite ready and looking at the drink, is it the drink you haven't been seeing and now you are finally going to drink again and you're anticipating the drink or are anticipating seeing a person and you look like you need the drink for bravery to see him?

    That's an hour glass that she's holding. Yes she is waiting for a person. She's not ready because she's feeling insecure. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement!

    I so apologize for my mistaking it for a wine glass. But I'm glad I asked because now it makes total sense now! Thanks

He he he, I know that feeling and this is what women do, they make such an effort and I wonder if men know or care how much goes into looking this good! I enjoyed your words, love Dolly x

This makes a welcome start to a story. I think you should centre it and single spacing to improve the word's appearance.
I love the picture of the waiting lady.
What is the sarcasm here? She is waiting for someone but she is not ready?

    No there's no sarcasm.
    The "NOT" denotes her personal insecurity. She wants to see him but not ready to be seen by him. Thank you for your encouraging words.

    That's complicated

You have made excellent use of all your syllables in this piece. At first,
I was a little surprised by the last line, but then I thought of the uncertainty that can fill one's thoughts when it HAS been a long time.

Very good presentation of verse and illustration. Will the sands of time affect her? Your last line is a real pip (-:

Not that this affects my review, but for these small verses, please consider centering lines and increasing the font size. Bolding the same is your artistic choice. Methinks that the overall presentation for FS readers will be enhanced by the larger font.

Good luck in this contest.

Hello Brenda, this is a good Haiku written in perfect form. Good line three, good turn after lines one and two. Perhaps turning these 2 lines into one sentence, making enjambment. It would distinguish it from line 3 which incidentally has a nice cynical touch. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x
