Teeth

[ThatGirlWhoWrites]

Teeth were made for tearing.
Teeth were made to maim.
Teeth were made for ripping flesh.
Teeth were made for game.

Teeth weren’t made to mush tofu—
Teeth were made for fibs.
Teeth were made to tear the
Meat off tasty, juicy ribs.

Teeth were made for biting lips.
Teeth were made to grin.
Teeth were made to lie
Through teeth with each and every sin.

Written with heavy inspiration from Lady Gaga's song "Teeth." One line I'm not sure makes sense until the end is "Teeth were made for fibs."

Lying through your teeth. Let me know what you think, anyway.

heart I really like this poem. I envy your ability to write poetry. That is a skill lost on me, I'm far too long winded. XD But I really really liked it. mrgreen

Ah, thank you. And I am also rather long-winded when I write. For a long time, I couldn't write poetry well before my 11th grade English teacher told me I should write a really detailed paragraph and just take out the imagery to make it a poem. Then it was one hundred times easier to write poetry.

Thanks again! heart
