K.C. ribs ‘n fries,
Fallow fodder for flossing,
Followed by a brush…

I climbed the mountain,
The meaning of life to find.
“Floss!” was all he said.

Whiter than fresh snow
Lies floss against my cuspid.
Dracula flossed, too.

Caries, my burden.
Rue the day I tossed the floss
Underneath the bus.

Ode to Floss
Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
Floss Teeth or lose all.

Bugs between my teeth,
Always giving me disease,
I must floss them Now!

As the white pain saves,
Gums turn red like maple leaves,
martyrs for our teeth.

Joline@flossing.org
It's weird. Good, but hurts.
Each night I torture my gums.
Well, my teeth are good.

plaque free space you want?
whatever flavor you use
floss will do the job
.

Gina@flossing.org
Two flavors. Both plants.
Which is better? I think mint.
Strawberries: Healthy.

Between two fingers
lies the string of prevention
does the body good

"If I had been successfully indoctrinated when I was a boy, I'm sure I'd be a flossing machine today, instead of a guy with increasely British-looking teeth (my only European affectation)."

decayed stone
waxed snakes slide in, out
pretty me

silken string surround pearls
strong gums stand guard
naked teeth secured

only the white keys
on gleaming mouth piano
are played with taut string

JoseCommins@flossing.org
Ivory string
tightened around fingertips
Blue fingers; white teeth
Perfection.

A quick glance
Is he sliding mint
Or fiery cinnamon?

Zuzana@flossing.org
evening I pull the floss
red cinnamon smarts
against my gums

Zuzana@flossing.org
morsels sit between my teeth
minty, waxy, nylon thread
saves my smile

Elizabeth, Jon & Leanne@flossing.org
it softly slides
glides along my lips
onto my tongue
between my teeth
clear and clean
minty fresh
my mouth is ripe and ready for anything

Luscious@flossing.org
food in my teeth
he points
I blush
