Toothful+Thoughts

One of my little brothers just lost his tooth. The commotion inspired me to write this free-verse poem. I personally hate this poem, and feel that I should have done a much better job... but without further ado, I present my poem. ~ Lauren

10/15/11 - Okay, it's gotten to the point where I can't stand this horrible poem. Just forget that it ever existed and move on with your lives. Thanks! You can now return to my page .~ Lauren

Pain with each bite Senseless commotion  Bittersweet promises of grimy quarters  Rusted pliers  Soured apples  String wrapped around the brass doorknob  Crayons on a silver platter  Gleaming waves of tears  Glossy taste of blood  Embedded in the tongue  Fear of a sinister fairy  Prodding your pink pillow  Waiting and waiting  All for a little tooth
