Aligned
June 22, 2014
Your teeth
Aligned
Not perfectly
But (perfect)
Like the way
Stars are (aligned)
Jumbled up
Some (looked) different
Like The Others
More yellow with light
More white with darkness
They were not
Ideal or
Flawless or
Ones that someone wished for
But the thing about stars
Is that they are not perfect
But we wish upon them anyways
Like I wish upon them
Hoping that one day
Your teeth
Will be clenching
My lower lip
Pulling me back
In
For another kiss

I like how you made me go back from thinking about teeth to stars. I never saw the similarities before like how they are not all bright. I keep re-reading the fourth stanza- keep writing!

This poem deserves five stars for creativity! I have never read a poem comparing teeth to stars. What an interesting idea! Very original and beautifully written. :)
