she
sips iced coffee
under
a warm sun
waiting
for his arrival
it’s
been so long
since
she had a date
it
almost seems foreign
to
her in a digital world
his
form catches her eyes
she
inhales with hope
the stars will align

I can feel the anticipation here. Well done.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, the stars align ~ Truedessa
ReplyDelete"inhales with hope" Such tension. Breathe!
ReplyDeleteThat last stanza is superb!
ReplyDeleteAh the inbreath is intriguing. States a nice bit of tension
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog
Much❤love
I like the contrasts, digital versus real world, and the invoking the stars that are so mysterious and unknown.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your poem evokes anticipation, Maria, and the way it starts with sipping iced coffee and ends with inhaling with hope.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, Arcadia! I hope so too!

Thank you everyone for reading and commenting. :)
ReplyDeleteDating is tough. I hope it works out for this couple!
ReplyDeleteYour Quadrille guarantees a starry merge!
ReplyDeleteThis poem led to a song playing in my mind: "Anticipation" by Carly Simon. Well done. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope for both their sakes that they do. Dating isn't what it used to be! Not a user-friendly world for singles who are looking for a soul mate.
ReplyDeleteI keep my fingers crossed for you.
