Our goal is to provide you with a prompt every day from which you are to garner inspiration and submit a poem. How to submit will be very easy. Just put your poem or short story in the comments section and hit post. You may not immediately see your post, but it is there under the "Comments" section. You may need to click on "Comments" to see your poem. It is there on another page.
You may need to have a Gmail account to post in the comments section. Most of you do have Gmail, but for those of you that don't it's extremely worthwhile to open up one now! That way you've got a chance to get your work out there in the world.
Wisdom Tooth
ReplyDeleteMine was impacted
A nerve that took the wrong turn
Wrapped itself like python
A patient constrictor
Around a tooth that had done
Nothing to deserve it
Still the condition continued
The extreme forces at play
The entire jaw with a mind of its own
Wouldn't give up
It took hundreds of dollars
And two man dental hours
To pry that bastard out
A year later it was the same story
With the other Siamese tooth
Now all four are gone
I should feel more grief
