Tainted Wings
Tooth fairy goes bad
after 2 glasses of red
Forgets to collect tooth
Stumbles blindly to her bed
Tear drop stings taint fragile wings

Naughty tooth fairy. She wants smacking and sacking!!

Joan, you've captured fractured motherhood in a mouthful; very good.

Aw you didn't forget to replace a tooth for an offering of silver Joan did you?
Shame on you. :-)

Don't normally like short structured poetry but would agree that you capture 'fractured motherhood' very well. One I can identify with.
