Best Bath Poems

You look stupid in videos on phones at the start,
you don't look like "Badmans" calling women a tart,
when I see those skits I think what a retard,
and don't you know we all skip over that part.

I don't rap with accents like tings and blud innit,
recycling...

I lay there in the dirty bath water;
unable to raise myself up, like a
dog in quicksand, I wondered if I 
should just yelp, or die, as the
grey water ran into my dream 
and eye

I must have pulled something,
a muscle, a nerve, or a bank heist,
it...

When I was a kid with a dirty neck
my mam would scream “wash it”, I’d run like ‘eck
grow spuds in your ears, she’d yell at me
I didn’t care, I couldn’t see

I’d go as long as I could, thinking nothing...

I sit here shaking in this warm water
The pain has come, for my life to barter.
Should i do it, let everything go.
I grab that razor and never let go.

I tilt my head back and take a breath
I soon feel the pain inside my chest.
My heart...

3,334 years ago tomorrow 
  the Israelites crossed the Sea
If they had all drowned instead
  today I wouldn’t be me…

The Sea split in half, all the books say
  and so did water in every bath 
from Lebanon to Babylonaey

So, throughout the ancient...

all aspects of our self
beauteous is each hue
bubbling spontaneously 
letting vibrancy renew

undiminished is elation
equal are dark and light 
for God is omnipresent 
heightening bliss delight

every breath is a miracle
as is rhythmic heartbeat
the vast void conspires
that love may love greet

unfettered like the breeze
soma nectar freely flows
all...

Finally my blood began to coagulate
a graceful gel, gently thickened,
so – whatever I might feel, the settling of the wound,
has begun…

in sensitive silences, the shadows echo the fear,
felt by a heart who knows the starkness, the darkness,
will never drive out the hurt, despite the silhouettes,...

A BUG IN A BATH

I'm what you call a bug
When humans see me they go UHG

Humans don't care about my needs
Or my sometimes good deeds

But such bothersome things
Roll right off my wings

When I can dip my feet
Blistered from the heat 

In the bird bath for...

B lindfolded he leads her down the hall,
A nticipation makes her start to giggle.
T here he lets her dress slide slipping to the floor,
H anding her a red rose he removes the blindfold.

F ascination shows in her excited face,
O ver the floor is a carpet...

Bath Time

Every evening
around about five
I pinch my cellulose
to make sure I’m alive.

Long-ago-child 
last rings in my tub
now soaps up her own kids,
rub a dub dub.

Towels at attention,
the bathroom is dry
if I need a re-run
my daughter’s near-by.

At times 
you've gotta shed that burlap rabbit
bang the beat of a neon lynx
inhale some twilight grime and grit
uncork that sticky- cologne soul
embrace all the cuts and nicks...
Be bold as dirty gold
a shark painting shadows on the shoal 
slashing life to the bone,,,
Sling a pair...

Banshee screams pierce air,
claws sharp, eyes wide and angry,
good luck with cat bath....

Today there are no rubber ducks, no flawless hues, 
To hide behind, as we once did.

This day is dark, and gray and dreary,
Air thick with the scent of decay and mold,
Dull light filters in through the window,
Casting a somber tone across everything.

Even the freesia suds...

Rebecca wrinkles her itty bitty nose and giggles
Loads of soapy bubbles almost over her head
Warm soothing water still running noisily
Holding on to her precious Little Mermaid doll
Rebecca reaches over to quiet the flow
Ah the echo of silence! How magically delightful !

Now her singing lesson can...

Playdays Nursery Rhyme

Your rainy play day comes to an end
Running and jumping in puddles with friends
Creating rain paintings – making mud pies
Wearing warm rain coats – boots with googly eyes.

Time for a “tubbie” to wash off the mud
Duckies and bubbles – rub-a-dub-dub
Wrap up in a...
