Best Tooth Poems

When I have a bag of candy
I have oh so many friends 
They all come gather around me
But it don’t last, it always ends

I guess I aint that special
I’ve never been cool it’s true
Still I just wanna fit in
All I want is a friend or...

A top the verdant mountains of nirvana,
A most limitless effulgent radiance
Across azure sky, spilled crimson horizon;
                             ...

When I look at you
I lose control
I know I shouldn't
But I can't say no
Just a taste of sweetness
Upon my lips
Its belly fat and expanding hips

One doughnut begets two
Two doughnuts and why chew
Swallow them whole
Shove them in
I just can't get enough
Of eating them

A candy bar
So innocent...

We rode out of Camelot, sun arising, 
five knights led by Galahad all bold and true, 
on a quest to slay a marauding dragon,
at Arthur's request.

T'was noon when we discovered the dragons lair, 
and kept a safe distance at the forests edge, 
then crept forward...

Sweet Tooth

She always asks for candy,
When we ask what she wants for her Day,
Or on Christmas she asks for pralines,
That come from far away.

She never asks for diamonds,
Nor an eco friendly mink;
Only some kind of truffles,
Or a gooey chocolate drink.

Jelly beans...

we're in a cafe and he's unsure if he can
finish his slice of CAKE, one of those 
fondant numbers and so we've made an arrangement
which will allow me to consume half of it
but then, "dad, i actually think i can finish it."

Now I am long in the tooth,
I have stopped looking for my lost youth
I am slowly going blind
And I think I may have lost my mind
I cannot walk without my walker
I would be easy meat for a thief or stalker,
They say if you search, you'll...

The word on faerie lips, I’ve heard -
A gleaming, white, pristine, grade A...
Baby tooth. And rarely used.
A solid, shining, well-endowed,
enamel-laden tooth. I’m wowed!

And.... 

It’s in the next town!
Flyable!
I gather my reliable
Companion faeries...

and 
     we’re

I am soaring in the sky
 Watching birds fly by
 My parachute opens wide
 As downward I gently glide

 Finally I land on some soft grass
 And I become rooted to the spot, alas
 I will bask in the sun's glow
 As my leaves spread...

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,...

I was six when I first had a tooth decay,
I spent squalling in pain almost the whole day;
When my mum brought me to a male dentist,
I ran away upon seeing his muscles and big wrist.

She took me back home and asked my dad,
“What shall we...

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...
