Notes About The Poem

Date written: 02/09/2025

Tooth And Nail


                     tooth
               jagged, canine
        aching, decaying, eating
  denture, enamel, manicure, claw
       grabbing, clenching, filing, 
              etched, pinpoint
                       nail

Ouch! I agree with Andera, creative use of this idiom! Wonderfully crafted in this form that is so sensory with each word conveying a story or experience! Thank you for sharing this poem. Reminds me I need to have my teeth manicured with a cleaning! Blessings! Happy Valentine's Day!
