The end of missing you.26 total reviews
Comment from Waishali Deshmukh
This is such a lovely haiku. I simply love the last line. The 'NOT' here has conveyed the eagerness so powerfully. Brilliant work. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Brenda. I always believed that preparation for an encounter included shaving and brushing my teeth. This day and age it looks like shaving is optional. After 47 years of marriage, my wife said she is lucky to get that. BTW, I liked your poem. Z

Comment from Yuna Akil
I think this is a great poem about anxiety. By being someone who is constantly challenging myself, I've felt the way your poem describes too often.
On a side note, Haiku poems are usually about nature and the seasons.
Now that've just read the poem again. Your capitalization of the word NOT makes it feel like the speaker is actually super ready. I guess it could be read both ways.
Yuna.

I guess it could. I wasn't ready though. :)

A perfect Haiku. A perfect line structure. I like the photo. Time flies by. Time stays still. Time looking us in our face. Time so beautiful. I wish you the best for the contest entry.

Comment from Ogden
I think this clever haiku would work a lot better if the lady in the illustration did not look so VERY ready. (I know, some of us will see flaws in the mirror that no one else does.)

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the anticipation we have to go through when we are waiting for someone to arrive after a long absence.

Comment from Mistydawn
This takes me back to when I was dating. Every dress that you own on the bed, shoes strung all over the room. You look in the mirror and exaustedly think this won't work either. The poem is well-written, gets your message across nicely, and your artwork is perfect for the poem. Good luck with your contest.

Comment from Gail Denham
Nicely put - we anticipate certain events - but also cringe from them. Are we ready? Good poem that points that out. Course judging by the photo you chose, I'd say this gal was just fine and should be received well. Quite lovely.

I like the artwork you choose to go with your poem it is a perfect make
I Had to smile as I read your poem when my love was courting me he would say you don't have to doll up every time I visit you
I love you just the way you are

Thanks Cookie! That poem is real. I don't know what time he'll be here but I'm terrified
It's a bad hair day and I'm pretty sure that I gained between 5-10
