A Visit to the Dentist

A Visit to the Dentist

A Poem by Richard Williams
"

Let's all go to the dentist.

"


That visit conjures up 
images befitting
to the inquisition;
you have a premonition
of pain, pulsing pain...
and your imagination
spins faster than the drill,
and those images
of dental instruments
flash
through your mind
like lightning bolts.

A compromising position, that visit.
Among sharply pointed steel;
an invasion begins,
and you marry the chair.
Your feet feel
the sound of the drill,
and your hair is electrified.
Then when the drilling is done,
and your face is completely numb,
you grind your wisdom
because your nerves
are twisted--totally wrung.

fine...
it is very true....
you have neatly expressed a different theme..
in the form of a poem...
and it your way of narrating the story...adds spice to your collection of poems..
in terms of variety....
liked it very much..
