Teeth Poems - Poems about Teeth

In my heart, a reliquary, gather teeth that do not belong to me, but are those of voices I swallowed out of politeness, unwillingly, they echo in silence like relics of a gentler, forgotten violence, and I polish them with guilt until they shine like silent confessions. I tell myself there is beauty in this digestion of thoughts and...

All these dark and secret places only I have known and explored. The hidden other-world of lips and teeth and tongue. Mine alone for these many years. The tastes, both bitter and sweet. The feel of my mouth, the sensitive swollen softness of my bottom lip between a gentle bite. I scrape it along my...

Freedom isn’t a delicate flower; It’s the fist that goes through the ground, the teeth that grind at the chains, the howl of a wind that won’t ask for permission. I refuse to bow to the crumbs of tomorrow, I won’t let my bones sink into decay, a shell waiting to grow scraps. I’ll carve out freedom from this stubborn rock— bloody-knuckled and relentless. Do not...

I heard the tooth fairy lost her teeth. Thief stole every last one, and her wand. She can’t wave away the loss. Senseless, of course. Sore kids won’t let it go - their tooth. They’ve moved to Neverland to escape the crooked, but Cook has a secret treasure with a wand for a key. Now Peter found the old Captain’s stash, bagged it,...

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 ...

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 up from baby boy to man. What does a tiny...
