Premium Member Nature, red in tooth and claw
When the early bird catches the worm, its beak clenches the slimy thing real firm; then, it shakes it violently, to and fro, as if to let the dangling wriggler know, this ~ is the end of the show....

A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH
Nothing comes without something in return. You evaluate life with a sense of selfishness, And never succumb to your own failure. One moment, life is good But the dark days made God a man When the choice was yours. A life for a life, and sins lead to death. You...

MY TOOTH
Crunch, crunch say my teeth as they devour, That freshly baked warm crusty cob made from flour Oh bother say I, that does not feel right, As my tongue explores the cause of my plight That silly grin staring back at me, Showing a space where a tooth should be ...

Premium Member The Tooth Fairy lost Her Teeth
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 Lost Tooth
she is felt still a tongue tip recalls her grave it speaks tenderly i had her crowned yet such a royal regalia did not suit her innate modesty she was a tireless waitress who served up treats and sugars with a candied Mona Lisa smile a love lost is not rootless yet it must speak from a hollow filling the heart of which turns upon cavities of regret decades later i eat these...

Premium Member Deciduous Teeth
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...

Premium Member The Tooth Faerie, Unhinged
Oh, how you brushed and washed me, And lovingly dental flossed me - How tragically you lost me, When I was extracted from your skull By an overzealous faerie, Toothless, hideous and scary, Who from kids like you, unwary, Snatches denture teeth, which he can cull. ...

Tooth Number 17
My husband had his tooth pulled; It was number 17. With pain involved, extracting it Was easily foreseen. Our grandson pointed out he missed By just a single date, Tooth Fairy Day (the 28th), But it’s up for debate… If he would rate a visit Since our granddaughter was sure The fairy comes for baby teeth; The rest have no allure. In any case,...

Premium Member A Shared Sweet Tooth
The playful nature of love need not be always a scheduled match, something to be said for the spontaneity of butterfly kisses, fluttering lips and tip-toeing fingertips, as a child approaches a cookie-jar at midnight, the cat-like hurtle of stool and counter, a cupboard with bells and whistles, the Cookie Master having had fond insight, a shared sweet-tooth of a game…....
