    1. There's one incident which I'll always remember. That's when at the age of 13, I visited the dentist for the very first time. Upon seeing that big, long syringe, I held back the dentist's hand and told him not to give my gum the shot. May be, at that time the dentist was more frightened than I was!

      You're welcome, Hotei. Loved your poems. Write more! It's ok if you can't visit this blog. :)

    1. I think so, Marie. I for one do dread to see the dentist. I wish I don't have to see one. But for health sake, I have to! Thank you for being here. :)

  7. I am afraid I am NOT afraid from dentists and their torture rooms!

    For a freaking doom I am not affected by any problem in the mouth or gums. The only time I saw one of these torturers, he commented something about the pH that keep me out of cavities and other niceties!

    But I can offer a virtual holding of your hand while you are under treat...ment. :)

    Nice haiku, BB. You never fail!!

    1. I'm glad to hear that, Od, though at the same time I envy you! You know, you're born lucky. :)

      LOL..how nice of you to do that. I might forget the pain for awhile but the sounds of drilling will be too intimidating. Anyway, thank you so much for letting me know your beautiful "pearls'. And your kind words. Appreciate that. :)
