Missing Teeth
                   Authored by Chuck Keys

a rainbow walked into my room
pretty enough to bloom
pink and purple with smiling missing 
teeth, happy as a butterfly cutely reminiscing

fulfilled deep...

Tiny, timid, thing
tell tales that throw time
through thought; teeth tightning trenches
these trouble tellers taunting tidbits
Thawck!
Toiling Thugs
They tinsel trash
through tonsils
Tackle them!
Trophy triumphant toddler!

three incisor teeth burst through fresh flesh...
opaque as pearls, strong as love, precious 

beautiful baby babbles assertively
mesmerized by mishmash sounds 
that her astounding mouth can make
prose poetry in its practice

as canines erupt, she moans from the ache
teeter-tottering restless to repress pain 
speedily advancing in substantial...

A tiny, glowing, wing-ed creature flies
to homes around the world in every land
compelled to take each tooth we lose and then, 
to sneak a coin to sleepers whilst they sigh
as wispy whistles whoosh from holes inside
and taking the milk teeth we lose as planned
when growing...

The wind has teeth today
   nipping at my cheeks and ears
The chill air is a blade, ripping away
   the lining of my jacket

The wan sun's rays fall helplessly to the ground
   lacking any true conviction
Gray clouds swirl aimlessly overhead
...

bright teeth
smiling at me
and lighting up green eyes
in jack o’lantern candlelight.
the gummy insides of its pumpkin cheeks
along with its nutritious seeds scooped.
empty mindless shell speaks
with full moon eyes
bright teeth

Call me victorious
As I walk the battle grounds
Head held up high
Holding onto the heart of this world.
Choking out the black smoke we call death. 

Above my head it is cradled 
I'll let you get out your white flag,
Wave it around in this diseased air,
Trudge through...

My teeth walked down the stairs today
Molar stepped on aluminum and I yelled “hey!”

They were rioting to protest the new floss.
I rolled my eyes; after all, I am the boss!

My mouth tried to speak but nothing came out
Not whisper, a gurgle, a cough or a...

Grandma Strong from Kurrajong
Wore a set of false teeth,
Each night she'd take them out
To give her mouth relief.

She'd put them in some water
To keep them nice and clean,
When she woke she'd brush them
And put them back where they'd been.

However this night it was very cold,
Her...

If on history books we can rely

     'Tis said Washington never told a lie

          He had false teeth it is said

Washington wore fake teeth as voiced beneath,

   But with sagacious thoughts did us bequeath!

      And after profound weighing,

         It just goes without saying:

In the Madness of my Mind, I : Chatted with God
 The Music of HIS voice reverberates through the canyon of a dead Soul 
            Questions, so many questions : “Speak my son“, He...

An unfortunate fellow named Keith
He had terribly prominent teeth
When he flashed a smile
They stuck out a mile
Dribble ran down his chin underneath

A beautiful lady caught his eye
After dating a kiss they did try
But his date soon walked away
When his teeth got in the way
He was...

The toothaches do not last
But, the memories, they do,
Once Halloween had passed
And my childhood, too ...

But, the memories, they do
Remain with me still ...
And my childhood, too
I am sure always will

Remain with me still ...
The magic and the fun,
I am sure always will 
When all...

Sharing hard candy with her best friend Shirley
Impossible task if deciduous teeth are lost prematurely
Although each child progresses in a different rate
My predecessor took its time as I came in a little late
I caused Chloé pain erupting—cutting through her gum
An icepack so frigid was chilling,...
