Girgling sounds nearby
Light positioned like the sun
Swivel chair reclines.

Humungous syringe
Needle seesaws back and forth
Pain yields to numbness.

Probing pick invades
Exploring desolate site
The Masked One begins.

The drill hums sad tune
Of varied tempo and pitch
Suction tube joins in.

At last silence comes
Fluid flow is expelled
Time for rebuilding.

Large crevice decline
Replacement filler packed in
Scrunched down, made solid.

Voids are replaced
One is filled but in its place
My wallet is drained!

David, I knew from the title I was gonna cringe at this one. Thanks for the wonderful feeling...LOL
You got it so down to the precisness of every detail. I want to say wonderful job, but since you've given me the cringes so bad, I think I will just leave saying thanks alot...LOL

David; So this is how you have been spending that time from the computer! Ugh! You have written this poem so realistically, that I
too got the chilly willies! Great job here,
I can't imagine it being written any finer,
despite the subject! Love ya Bro! C):?)

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Ouch! I was just about to call the dentist for a check up...thanks for reminding me that it can wait a few more months!

You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore

David,
  Welcome back, sit in this chair right here,
Relax, you won't feel a thing! Now open wide!
OOOOUCH, You've hit a nerve with this one, well written but the subject matter is to gruesome for this timid soul. LOL

Moonbeams radiate
When the veiling cloud has past
Playful shadows dance
