A very well-written mystery place poem. It is a dreaded visit each time we have to go there. Sometimes it is absolutely necessary to go sit in the dentist's chair.

Oh gosh, you got me with that twist at the end! The dentist's office! Here I was thinking it was some kind of death panel lottery. Although, come to think of it, I prefer to see the dentist under the influence of some anti-anxiety medication.

Well done!!

Great job. I was curious right up to the end what fate awaited. Aha! A visit to the dentist! Good rhyming and word choices, written in rhyming couplets. Marilyn

The waiting is the biggest challenge to the characters in the poem and their sense of dread is very realistically depicted here. All kinds of dreadful places come to mind at the beginning of the poem so that the dentist's office is almost a relief.

Hello, I created this contest. Thanks for participating. Your poem is written quite well, even though it wasn't what I intended an entry to be. Don't let that dishearten you - I don't determine the winner. I say all this because you took a place that is not a mystery - it is universally known. But you have done a good job in describing it in a mysterious way. It reads like a "suspensive" sentence in which the reader is not sure what the line is saying until the very end. Good luck on the contest.

    Thanks much for reading and I am sorry I didn't describe a place of real mystery as intended. I did consider that but I was not sure.

    As I said, don't worry about my personal opinion - you should do fine.

I liked the theme and enjoyed the mystery place poem tells about the dental clinic, and interestingly free flow of thoughts, bizarre atmosphere, humorous concern, approach, sentiment and visual imagery expression.
