Wiggly Teeth – v2

as the chime was passed,

purposely, around the circle

sharing our days

our most  important news

a recurring theme

breathed into the world

shared, excitedly,

a giggly word

Wiggly teeth

in glee, in wonder,

so many teeth

so many treasures

the Tooth Fairy had better

stock up on quarters,

because Pembroke children

will soon have teeth under pillows

A Big Gapped Grin – v2

She stood there,

at the top of the stair

with hand outstretched

for me to view, to see,

her first tooth,

clutched like a butterfly

in her palm, her small hand

Grinning ear to ear

with pride, anticipation,

and the knowing

of the coins to come

from the beloved

Tooth Fairy
