The Thrill Of Waiting Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
The Thrill Of Waiting
Ah to wait and wait!
The thrill in an anxious wait,
Where's when she's at gate?

Yes, your absence was being felt, and here you are with wonderful comments, thanks Dr Swain.
Brilliant haiku. There is a thrill in waiting for something or somebody. Our anxiety creates so many thoughtful stories. Once the expected one reaches us the thrill of waiting dimnishes. Thank you
And dear Bri, I appreciate all the caveats you raise from time to time. The quality of poems on this site I think would be far better if there is some creative criticism. So, thanks so much.
the last line seems lacking. i'm not sure what you mean. hmm? :)
Last line, Today's poems are almost prose, rather verbose. A real poem happens in-between the lines where the poet has left something unsaid. One is waiting, he or she, for the love interest. The thrill in waiting, the build up of expectations... and he/she arrives, , obviously, the joy should reach the crest. But the poet says, it is nothing compared to the thrill of waiting. It is the journey v/s destination dilemma.
I don't know what gives you this doubt. The word there is gate, and not gait (galloping or otherwise) ...
