turned into smolder
a flint toothed ogre 
munches a wooden cross
in the shadows
of his black soot mind...

light a sparkle in her eyes
Lollipops in blue-
she tells me taste like sunshine
as she flashes a blue smile....

Flat toothed beaver
gonna look at you
with a twinkle in
his eye and tell ya
the truth:
It's not how wrong you are
that matters, but
why you're wrong.

Then he got shot by the cops....

Sometimes wonder if it's all worthwhile
Then your encouraging words cause me to smile
Like a goofy old geezer
An old geezer squeezer
Grinning like an oversexed eighty-toothed crocodile...

Cut out of black paper
Japanese
Thrown before a sky

Of night milk
Janitress of a
Lower house

One toothed,
Point hatted,
Flying in front of a 

Victorian curtain
Two thirds storm,
One third dark....

Always the first detective to leave his home,
gets quite a bit of cases on his cell phone,
wants to get the cases solved,
gum shoes needing a bad polish,
always using on the crime scene his fine toothed comb....

silver light seeping
over toothed edges of land
widens the new day

moonlit shadows sink,
scrabbling brushstrokes streaking
canvas of morning's

golden silver threads
of sky bowing to green fields
clinging to dewdrops...

large saw-toothed tiger took a jagged bite
victim was juicy, tasty delight
we watched his mouth turn brilliant red
gulping happy, someone said
some ran off to hide
I went back inside
tiger loved his
strawberry
frosted 
cake...

A  soft chalk pastel painting            
white as the dolls of Japan

red, green and blue
secure the trees to the sky

cheap hairspray fixes the dust,
paper toothed and rough

in the wooden frame
the picture keeps you in view....

When I wander
I do so without direction
Hoping to encounter a path
On which I will be protected
And stumbling onto gravel
I realize that the world is not smooth,
Rather jagged 
I hope these shoes shield me 
From the truth that is toothed...

Brilliant young girl
Old in character
Lovely and fun to be with
Unarguably, a rare jewel
Wearing on her face,
A gap- toothed grin
That sparkles like rainbow
In that smile, there's vigour
Fidelity, her watchword
Enthralling all, her virtues...

Chinese toothed, slack chinned
concerned at the inrunning cold
you flood the snowed path with light

like a stage. Your singular silence
incomprehensible for the coated shape,
once known, now a smile of wire.

The years, like snow, clean the slate....

sky like a blue dome   
cups the gold-orange peel that  
inks shredded colors  
    
as it slides beneath  
toothed edges of green pines   
and lavender hills  
    
and steals lingering shadows-   
black figures slipping through light  
and disappearing...

Discomfort and despair
Life’s sharp-toothed snare
My heart beats slower, 
Its broken melody holds me there
street dogs howl with their fright 
as the snow falls, I’m lost to the night 
my body is cold, my blood stains the streets
even in death, I am incomplete....

A heavenly vision
  came walking my way
I tried to stay calm
  but my face gave me away

My eyes nearly bulged
  right out of my head
sweat dripped from my chin
  'neath a gap-toothed grin

My jaw dropped beside me
  as I lowered my head...
Had she blown me a kiss
  ~ or vanished instead...

Riding, riding, high tail cowboy!
Dry mouth, sunken orbits squint in the sunshine
Rearview mirror, grinning silver toothed

Gently rocking,  singing in the trunk

Laugh, laugh! stainless eyes,  steel sharpened grin
Splitting for the hills, knuckles white on the wheel

A killer on the run, Big Ed...
