Orthodontia


April agitation

Braces face

Dental deduction

Enormous expense

Metal Mouth

Pricey pearly whites

Sparkling smile

Tinsel teeth




Past Summer Days


I am the sum of my parts

graying blonde hair and dimpled smile


Bright dimples appear on wrinkled face

Years spent under cigarette smoke


Childhood memories a smokey haze

Grandpa whistles cheery tune, Heigh-ho


Heigh-ho, heigh-ho it’s off to work we go

Construct a blanket fort in the family room


Watch TV inside cozy blanket fort

Learn kindness from Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood


Ride bikes down to the neighborhood playground

Catch fireflies on warm summer nights


Spend carefree, warm summer days outside

I am the sum of my parts
