I Hate The Dentist (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #6)   Leave a comment

Don't get me wrong,
I like MY dentist.
He's very kind and patient 
While explaining why I need 
Yet another crown 
He's very skilled and attentive 
While I lie back for 
My torture session 
He's got a wonderful partner,
A cat he loves,
And enjoys traveling the world
And oh, by the way,
I've got another tooth
In need of a crown
I leave with an empty wallet
And a sore, tingling mouth
I'll happily see him again
Because I really hate the dentist
But at least I like MY dentist

Broken Crown (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #1)   Leave a comment

Alas, the crown cracked
Scattering pieces around
Exposing weakness 
As its reign comes to a close
I have to call the dentist

Crown (National Poetry Writing Month 2025 #24)   Leave a comment

Heavy is the crown
That sits upon my tooth.
Temporary it may be, 
But my tooth has a decree:
"Verily, this land will be cleansed!
Brushed with mint scented clouds,
Washed in blue floods of rain,
And ropes dragged through the streets!"
I acquiesce to his demands,
As I prefer a single monarch
With only a single crown.
