For Erik’s oral hygiene instrument (toothbrush)Challenge :)
“Toothbrush Sonnet”
Into this sonnet I’ve put my toothbrush!
No more into my mouth I’ll let it go,
because reading Erik’s work I still blush,
and my old pink toothbrush reddens to know
why Erik feels no envy towards it.
His verse cannot reach hard-to-reach places
where my toothbrush can practically fit.
I change it every month in some cases
when it starts to show me poetic sign-
Tightly clustered bristles mounted on pen
brush my gums and teeth to sparkle and shine,
and let my mouth recite poems again.
Paul’s chewable challenge I dare to chew.
Now my new tooth brush keeps expressing – Phew!

All of us should use a toothbrush to reach the hard to reach places of their lives, a good cleaning may make all the difference.

Never mind Erik for the moment.....Crest & Colgate should be fighting it out as i pen this comment for the rights to negotiate a contract with you to handle their future Marketing campaigns ! Now, remember, young lady...i'm not only a Corporate Marketer....but i can also be an Agent for a young lady Poetess monlighting & writing as a Marketeer(that be you,btw) ! Superb rhyme-scheme & "flouride" resplendent imagescaping! Don't know anything 'bout a challenge....but if it's all 'bout quality poetry & originality....you've got a toothy smile up on most from the giddy-up, Missy!~FjR~

I love how you have woven poetry into your creatively expressed words. Your sparking bristles are wonderful as is this Sonnet and your last two lines are a fitting conclusion for Eric's oral hygiene instrument!
