Maxillofacial 575

Poor Uncle Howard,
The dentist stole his wisdom…
Teeth. Where are they now?

spirit of valentine

show not only one
that you care this cherished day.
valentines for all.

get ready (you can never be too prepared)

do you have your milk?
what about your eggs and bread?
forecast calls for snow.

failure to communicate

I thought you would call,
and stupidly kept waiting.
was I to call you?

7:27 (on a Sunday morning)

annie is stirring,
and ambling her way downstairs
to watch some tv.

elusive (guess what “it” is)

I try to grab it,
thinking i need it badly
still it gets away.

indecisive

oh, the decisions;
life can be so full of them.
what do I do now?

soccer

kicking down the field,
the wind blowing through your hair;
once you’re close, you shoot.

currents

the river is fast,
yet causes you to slow down;
approach with caution.
