    Disappointment

     Waiting at the window

    She keeps glancing, watching

    Hoping against hope that soon he will arrive

    Car all shiny and a new doll in his hand

    Smiling at her grin beamed at him

    And then bending down for hugs and kisses

    Sitting by the phone with a hand ready and tensed

    Distracted and seeing nothing

    But the silent ringer that is dead set to tease

    Worry lines on one so small

    Lips sore from biting

    Lying on princess covered sheets

    Heart hammering

    And eyes wet

    In the dark where no one sees

    Except the angel they say is watching

    She waits one more night wishing

    Scolding herself for once again trusting

    And projecting love to the man she calls daddy

    Its like a sad picture of a girl in waiting. I like the emotion and the picture it projects. Good work!

    Nice!!! Sad, but nice. Sounds like something that you have experienced personally. The best poems are those that come from the heart. I haven't written too much lately, but I did quite a bit when I was a teenager. I used to have to get up and write them down even in the middle of the night, just so I could get to sleep.

    Good job! Paints a picture in the mind. Evokes an emotional response that goes beyond your perspective.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
