“Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.” Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Waiting for the dentist’s assessment of my implant screw. I watch Dogwood buds on dry branches rattle on the window pane. Why did Shakespeare’s quote pop into my head right then? while wondering if the bone graft grew, ‘every fair from fair sometime declines.’

Congrats on your placement in my contest Suzanne. What made your poem for me is I have been in that position.

Thanks so much, Oliver and how strange that it was today I finally got the implant placed. A little bit before May and and no rough winds. Thanks for a fun contest.

Ha! It is an odd thought to enter ones head at a dentist's office. I'm always just thinking: How long before you get your lousy fingers out of my mouth? You're a true poet Suze
