Hi Bil,

You can still write. Your blog entry here, for example, could easily be formated to a free form poem. It has the emotions, mystery and briefness of a good poetry. Some times when we are having writer's block with writing prose, it helps to change forms, try something new.

bil, i hate my gums too. perfect teeth, but bones falling apart underneath. in the past five years i have spent ( including what insurance paid) cose to $10,000 to keep my teeth. that IS depressing. to me it makes me feel old!!! so, your not alone my pal!!!!! and YES i will pay $10,000 more if i have to because i WANT MY TEETH!!! i told my dentist when he asked me if i wanted a partial or a bridge for one tooth that couldn't be saved i said" the only time i want to be able to SEE my teeth is if i'm looking in a mirror!!!!!! i want NOTHING that comes out"

this sounds petty to some people, but I'M WITH YA!!!!
