The whole piece is great but that opening line is magic.
It also reminds me of the movie Dune.
The desert sands look so smooth and soft.
My older son told me once they remind him of butter. lolMark and I had a conversation today about the Sahara desert and how years ago it had an oasis.
How time and the earth can shift!I think I’m inspired now to write about the desert!
You rock chica!
Thanks for all of your inspiration!-
hello beautiful Adelphina you have a lovely soul and I love where your inspiration took you… I was listening to the song I shared and went into a hypnotic state and landed in the desert in Enoch the angel Michael was ordered to bind his brother Azazel with a chain in the desert who is specifially talking here I am unsure… sometimes I channel what I hear….but that it took you to such a beautiful place is wonderful perhaps to that place before the problems in the Garden thank you sweet lady ❤️

Cool stuff, Brenda. I like the imagery that you pulled together. It has an almost looming presence overwatching it.
Great ideas you put together here.

“Just stick it directly into my neck and eyeball, doc!” I always said. Dental work makes for quality mental training at handling pain. It’s not just the pain, but the sounds of scraping, spit sucking, and smell of drilled bone. It can make for serious anxiety. But dentistry has come a long way….I coulda slept through that last root canal. Practically a massage compared to the one I had 20 years ago. I was kinda disappointed, really. I’d been dreading it all day. Seemed like a waste of perfectly good dread, tbh.

I’ve had one filling in my life. And they called it more like a stain than a cavity.
He talked me into letting him do it without any anesthesia. It went okay. But this new dentist I’m going to found
a couple of cavities and I’m going to get the shot. To say I’m dreading it is putting t mildly. lolThanks for stopping by!

Dear A,
Great piece. I enjoyed the parallel imagery of the sweet and the pain. I don’t like a lot of things but I especially don’t like people fiddling around in my mouth! I feel your anxiety. The good news, it’ll be over before you realize it and then bring on the sweets. Awesome formatting and refrain. “give me some of that
novocaine
make it sweet sweet sweet
like sugarcane” I intend to sing that for applicable situations. I’ll give you the street cred but that’s too delicious. Great write. H🌷 -
But it’s the sugarcane that got you in this predicament! My poor baby!
What a great rappish write you have here. It’s like you’re bringing some street cred to the dentist, as a warning to them. LOL
It’s going to be okay, you’ll see. And the payoff is worth it. You have a million dollar smile, so take care of it.
Oh and hey, what a great avatar pic you have! I wonder who just randomly took a facetime pic of you as they were talking with ya, and it turned out perfect! I know art when I see it, baby.-
Hi babe! Ughhh. I’m dreading it as you know.
I’m flossing daily and brushing twice a day. I’m not an avid flosser but I’m changing my ways!
Plus I need to get me another water pic! The first time I used one I didn’t realize how strong it was. lol
I ended up giving myself a facial! Water went everywhere until I got used to it.
Once I even managed to squirt the bathroom ceiling. Hahaha.Thanks for the pic sweetie. Even though it drives me crazy when you randomly decide to take a FaceTime pic!
But I can’t be mad at you cause I love you ya know.Love you and get ready for a phone call.
No pics!!!! 😁

Hey you took some already today!!! As long as we continue to allow each other to say “delete it”, all is fair!

Cheat?! I have a better eye for awesome than you do. My fiance is way hotter than your fiance! So there’s me being right again…. lol

Hey Adelly. I have no cavities but I do have a tooth whose face fell off. Luckily it’s where you can’t see it. 🙂 My dentist died a couple of years ago, (he was in his eighties) he was great. He could give you a shot without you seeing it by holding his hand up a certain way. It never hurt either. Good luck with your fillings.
-
Well howdy Tim!
It’s been a long minute amigo!
So happy to see you on my page.I went in for a general cleaning and low and behold I have a couple of cavities.
They said better to take care of now before they get out of hand.
I know they are right but still! Needles still freak me out.Thanks for stopping by!

Ugh, I hate going to the dentist! It’s worse than going to the doctor for me. The bounce back and forth between Novocain and sweet was fun. The one led to the other 😂
-
I agree! But since I don’t want to end up with
dentures when I’m older I gotta face the Novocaine music! lol
I’ve been pretty lucky with my teeth considering how much sugar I eat.
So I’m putting on my big girl pants and getting it over with.
It ain’t cheap either!This was fun to write:).
Nice to see you Willow.
Thanks for stopping by chica!

The dentist and I have an agreement: he stays in his building and I stay in my building several miles away. It’s a good arrangement. As for your poem, I felt the sting of the needle when you got jabbed, but the Novocain felt cool going in. And I need to thank you for the fuzzy tongue that lasted about 2 hours. If, as I believe, poetry is supposed to make you “feel”, your poem succeeded wonderfully, Adelphina.

Hahaha.
Hi Curt!
I wish I could stay several miles away but my fear of being toothless when I’m eight keeps me in line. Lol
It was a fun vent write. I am not a fan of the dentist. Never have been but I’ve seen people with an abscess tooth.
That scared me more lolThanks for topping by for a read amigo!

Only a poet of your talent can make the prospect of a dental appointment into a celebratory playful delight. I loved reading this. The sing song rhythm just had me totally feeling it.

Hahaha, love the way that you saw and add a little comedy to the situation. Just relax dental is a part of overall health, simply twist one before your visit. Tight
