Best Wash Poems

By Elton Camp

But it was too dirty to do very well

It’d been lolling in the mud and dust
To get it all cleaned up was a must

So Tex pulled into the car wash bay
He put in coins and began...

The air outside has grown still again,
The leaves on the trees have all turned red,
The emptiness washes over me now,
the silence fills my head.

I sit here wondering what might have been,
Oh what we could have made,
had we seen it through til the end,
could we ever...

Wake up fresh in the morning, free from daytime's infections
   Splash a pot of coffee on your pristine complexion  

Rev up your car's engine: Send a cloud of smoke into the air
   Motor off to work: Emit toxic pollutants over...

The twists of fate drive deep 
on a sleepless winter's night
drowning in the depths of despair 
wondering if you were ever really there 

Free floating away in your fantasy 
as the hint of whiskey hits the brain
surrendering to a soothing smile
and succumbing to the cherry...

Car wash running hot
Backed up around the next block
Car in front just clunked...

"May all the tears I have sadly wept this past
decade ... water the seeds I plant for tomorrow."

Tied my shoes
  Wash your hands
Turned on the news
  Wash your hands

Combed my hair
  Wash your hands
Tucked in my chair
  Wash your hands

Put on my hat
  Wash your hands
Played with my cat
  Wash your hands

Took a bike ride

*Fiction, inspired by a photo

The old man sat on the bench, 
Holding only his coat and cup of water in his hand
He had given away everything he has
Now, he only has his voice to give and his arms for a hug
Wise words for the fools,...

My heart races touching your deep Spirit's kiss,
My tear's curb crumbles greening my shrink cry.
The softness of your voice soothes my abyss.
My soul torn apart wondering to know why.

Wrong thoughts and so cruel wait  my tears and cry
The terrors of love just give them...

Can Not Wash Away All Your Pain


I can not make it rain,
can not wash away all your pain
Those dark clouds steal,
the joy that should be your thrill

I can not stop those hurts,
your heart cries out in spurts
No shoulder can relieve,
misery or the anguish you conceive

I...

I was my hands of it all, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Je m’en lave les mains by T. Wignesan


And what could we have done in his place
Who in this century would dare to judge him
he belongs to you and you are me-myself
A tiny cogwheel
An average...

Slide your quarters, grab the hose.
(Point away from eyes and nose.)
Power spray to loosen dirt;
One more time now wouldn't hurt.

Grasp the soap brush - scrub that foam;
Top to bottom - almost home.
Coat the roof if you have wet it;
If you're short - well, just forget...

A prayer for those who are in dispair along the Gulf Coast due to the BP Deepwater Horizon 
oil rig explosion. A prayer for those who waited and their loved ones did not return, Amazing

Amazing grace wash over me.
My tears are...
