My Rotting Teeth

my rotting teeth


i wish
upon a star
tooth fairy saves my teeth
two browns said goodbye in past year
with rotten cousins looking to join them
a mask of sharp pain and bad breath
i hide behind gum, pills
dentist, star bright?
i wish

I can certainly relate to this. Going through some major dental work right now. Rotten teeth are not humorous, but your poem puts a humorous spin on a frustrating problem. Nicely done, Connie! Blessings, Kim

You must brush, floss and gargle at least twice a day:) Funny but not funny if you have a toothache, Connie. As far as reading, the more you comment on other's poems you'll find most will reciprocate. Usually:) Just a suggestion:)
