For Now!

A visit to the dentist!

For Now!

The four heads peer down at me

As the dazzling lights shine in my eyes

I wonder why so many

But apparently I’m a phenomenon

I hear a buzzing sound that seems to come from within

And a swishing vacuum near my lips

I try to see but can’t lift my head

I wriggle my toes in distraction

And stretch open my fingers wide

I play with the handle of my fone

All the while wondering how much longer?

“Don’t forget to breathe” they remind

Lots of discussion and buzzy bees later

They tell me it’s finally done

My tooth - for now, is saved!

About the Creator

Linda Bromley

Just one of many creative outlets for me has been books! My whole life I’ve loved them and it’s so easy to make the jump to writing.

Recently I completed a poetry challenge and now, looking for more excuses to write, I’ve found myself here!
