Dear Brenda,
Your poem, "Anticipation" takes a turn! I loved your photograph with a woman holding an timer and watching the sand flow! Your description is perfect and guides the reader to its end!
My best in the contest. Deborah

Hi Brenda, I wanted to come over and see what you were writing... the haiku contest!
I love the poem. It's really cute... but it's really more senryu than haiku.
Where the senryu focuses on human nature (like your poem does) the haiku focuses on physical nature and will usually include some sort of seasonal refrence.
I hope this helps, you can change your poem until the entry time is over.
This is a really cute one though. ð???

I'm not certain what the specific rules of this contest are, but my understanding is haiku are usually nature related. All the same, I enjoyed your three line poem and the artwork is a good match for the poem.
I didn't see any edits needed.
All the best in the contest.

The artwork you chose to accompany your haiku is awesome!! I don't get the last line of the poem about being so "NOT" ready. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for your kind words. The last line is about the paradox of can't wait to see him and feeling unprepared. It's completely irrational but not at all unusual.

They do say that absence makes the heart grow fonder do they not. Once they arrive all that anxious energy normally quickly disappears and is replaced by passion : )) Nice!
