Ablutions Poems | Examples

The Flood

When Noah’s flood came
During and after the falling rain
It was God’s justice
But how will God administer justice 
After He made covenant and said: 
“I will never again flood the Earth to end all flesh.”?
So, if we don’t get another flood
What fulfills the law of God?
(We get the gushing from His side) of Jesus’ blood
This is the flood God has now set forth
To bring about every Christian birth
To wash us clean so we can be seen
As righteous but only because of Christ
It’s always been God’s sovereign plan
To bring to the forefront: The Son of Man
All judgments and every sacrifice
Are completed by Jesus Christ
And God has said this will suffice
“In Him I am well pleased”
And there is no other
He is second to none
Nor penultimate 
But The Last Adam has won
God’s One and Only Son
“Follow Me” He says to all who hear
Whether with a heart or with an ear
But don’t just hear, but be a doer as well
And He will keep you out of a place called Hell

(So what's the solution? Daily ablutions)

Canted AI

     Louisa the artificial squeeza,
     Lived for the moment,
     When people called her name.

     Founded on the belief.
     That intelligence can cause relief.
     Oh, what a shame!

     The people calling her name,
     Were those with the most blame!
     All lived in fear of what they might hear.

     Solutions, ablutions, change.
     All a part of Louisas' brain,
     Sending answers far and wide.

     We must hide,
     From what Louisa can do!
     Otherwise, we might get blue.

     No one will need us to work,
     Or blame others for being a jerk!
     Taxpayers might thrive and keep Louisa alive!

Night Routine

  To have really good dreams,
  You must set the scene!
  Think about pleasant thoughts,
  Moonlight, bowls of rice,
  A glass of red wine.
  Then complete your ablutions.
  No going to bed dirty!
  Settle yourself into a comfortable spot,
  Warm jammies always mean a lot!
  Gather your story for the night,
  Nothing that will cause a fright!
  Tea mug in hand,
  Carefully placed,
  To know where it would land.
  Suggest a table,
  Or nightstand.
  Read for a bit,
  Until you fall asleep.
  Good dreams await,
  Don't fall asleep to late!

Frilly Knickers

Are you missing frilly knickers
Trimmed with lace for city slickers?
Japan's panty line
Will lead to a shrine*
Blessed with love and local liquors!


*Everywhere we lived, my wife's 
frilly knickers disappeared from the 
clothesline, so I LOL when NHK reported 
a Japanese shrine with a "Drop Your Drawers
Here!" slot for women to stuff their panties 
so a priest could sniff out appropriate prayers 
and ablutions to ensure pregnancy.  2,000-years, 
and Christians couldn't think of that?

It Is What It Is

Rodin’s thinker felt deeply misrepresented in his pose
he had been simply doing his business in privacy but
paparazzis had caught him seemingly sitting on a rock
nothing on his mind but having a pee after a night out
too much beer with his mates in the pub and all that
was on his mind was whether there were painkillers
in the vanity unit to soothe his nauseating hangover

twitter went mad and the tabloids fronted his image
raised him onto the dubious pedestal of iconic status
attested him with clarity of thought and contemplation
he had only been looking at the bathroom mirror and
counting tiles and toothpaste stains in the marble sink
did not mind so much that he was nude in portraits
they painted because the truth must be stark naked
and he was not one to falsify events and their cause

but taking his ablutions out of context made him
feel shame rather than reason for he was abused 
in nature’s call and his wife might object but he would
never again sit down on the loo when having a tinkle

Sea Turtle

Subtle beak peeks, blowing through a reef’s ostentatiousness
Emerging from dark impervious depths, the need to breathe
Adept adaptation caught between the blues and greens of aqua 

Turtle spins in shelly quagmire where the sea and land consort
Ungainly gravity adheres, sands rasp of birth or death juju
Raking flippers grasp a slow, staid, trek, back to the water

Tortuous adversities unwind in the airy world fraught 
Leaving ablutions of the ocean with its weightless thrill
Emptied gasps fill, descending once more, to polish its brown mottle

Cathartic Cleansing

~ after ablutions in the Ganges River, her state of mind, pristine ~

When Snow Melts

I have frequently wondered about snow
  When it melts, where does it go

Yet my ponderings too oft lead to pollutions
  Preceding hurried late-night ablutions

The Thunderbox

Once was thunderbox in the yard,
Night time trips were really hard,
Scary jaunt to our exterior loo,
It had spiders in there too,
Now there are indoor ablutions,
Praise God for sewer evolution.

Absolving Ablutions

Some people believe that sin
Is easily washed away
Like scum on a bathtub wall
Sin sticks to your DNA

Although you may feel absolved
There is a Judgment Day
When all of your offspring discover
They have the Devil to pay

Electroni Germ Xfer

Ladies and Lords
when ensconced upon
your porcelain thrones.
I pray you,
leave your cell phones,
completely alone.
Then when your 
ablutions are done,
wash your hands,
and resume your
texting marathon.
Yet, further still.
apply phone cleaning wipes. 
So, when we share 
phone photos,
neither of us will 
likely become ill,
that night.

Pain and Rain

Pain and Rain

On a wet, spring day
Branches drip loneliness.
Sunbeams stream gentleness
Pain and rain stain the soul.
Distance separates.
Ablutions wash winter's grime.
Absolution is near.

Art Marcel Duchamp

How to take a leak

Marcel felt quite an urge when he set out to purge understanding of how to when
we view misconceptions of who is taking the piss now never thereafter and then

A fountain trickling urinal porcelain pissoir on display impressed me no doubt in
treacherous confusion of images since relief in museums constitutes phallic sin

When streams of revisionist consciousness meet with surreal ‘truth’ of ablutions
seeming paradoxes cleanse body and mind in contextual and continent solutions

A fragmented human condition does not improve with rigid caged in perceptions
in which mindless dogma clearly resists benefits of antiauthoritarian disinfection

Are glass ceilings real are vessels of thought and flush toilets congested or empty
do ivory towers reveal liberation and freedom achieve status of fully cognoscenti 

Nothing what it seems is Duchamp's message in a showcase of lavatorial pride
colonising minds need disclosure critique confrontation urinating against the tide

When cognition feeling and action with knowledge have reached full critical vision
I reach for a fountain pen so whether this is a poem or not remains your decision

My Carers

There's two of me, but only one of you,
So can I please use your hands to see me through?
As my invisible person in a group of five or more,
Having no mandate to boast, control or score. 

Will you watch me multipy whilst I thrive?
And question that rude, domineering carers' hive,
Where the bossy claim to know and be in control,
To see them leave to steer their own precious bowl?

Oh care manager! Will you let me define?
My invisible person, without my family line?
'Cos she is my motion and my engine of ablutions,
By which I drive my ambitions, with intentions.

Memories

I recollect we would,encircling a fire,congregate
Brew tea and pregnant stories of ancient time narrate
My grandpa would hours during nonstop preach
The inestimable merits of Dawn prayer and teach

Deserting wintry bedstead and its comfort 
Cleansing,doing ablutions and to the masjid resort
Yet would hibernate and for a while snore
Something the hapless,antiquated elder imploded to account for

Instead on the blasphemous devil blast it
Spurn to avoid his assailable limit
Professing satan has peed in his ear
Portending any if to his alibi doesn't adhere

God is merciful and our flaws does tolerate
Gran dad's motto is only spank and flagellate.
