Rinse Poems | Examples

Life’s Repetition of rinse and repeat:

Life’s Repetition of rinse and repeat:
Saga, the odyssey
 lies 
And deceit.
Juliet’s drowning upon daggers blade in
Response to a Romeo’s lethal swallow. 
The need be not the chasing down of serpentine sleuthing out the whys they bit you..
But the how so to heal oneself from poisons onset.
Cause the effect.
Effect the cause.
Alterations of souls allegiances.
Whom wages the war upon one’s self 
Loses all in either outcome. 
Close the gate,
Button down the hatches 
Night draws near.
Light the lamps for shadows creep.
Let illumination run deep..
Burn out yesterday’s fabled ways. 
Upon pages of white begin anew.
“Lord what fools these mortals be”
This said by Shakespeare and not by me.
Instead mirror thought of phrase as “idiocracy pains the existence of man”.
Overcome..undone
Underwhelmed..overburdened.
Buried in minds sea
Drowning in muddy thoughts.

wash-rinse-spin

i pivot between
the unknown, and i know not what

life has left me dangling
from my mind

uncertainty mocks
my every foothold

reality teases me
then shrugs off its own beliefs

I am disillusioned by wisdom,
made foolish by every thought

I cling to a arabesque
masquerading as a mystic dance

yet
let me spin on

for somewhere ahead

i hope

a stop sign
will slow this dream down

Rinse Clear POTD

Mind – a pool, deep and arcane,
Needs to be cleared n' cleansed from time to time
In the sinuous course of life,
Pause awhile to peer into the depths.
Over the still waters, lies a layer of scum.
At the bottom is settled,
Toxic sediments of hate,
The residue of burnt dreams
Of unsavory passions

If unattended, in this slushy mass of filth
Maggots may breed,
Eating into the flesh
Poisoning the vital serum
Pumped through the veins

Purge the dross
Flush out the dirt
Rinse it clean
And feast on the sparkle,
Of clear waters
Springing from the well heads of love!

Rinse and Repeat

The clothes in the washing machine, I now pondered
how I might best pass the time, and so I wandered
up a muddy hill, late to perceive I’d squandered
my time, for now my jeans needed to be laundered.

Preparing For Princely Company

You wish to soon see the prince 
But your coat you did not rinse. 
Prince might pick its stink and wince. 
You don’t such add to your sins. 

You still want to meet the prince?
John’s has been paining him since 
Now, it’s prayers for a means 
To dump his likes in dust bins …

Or, perhaps, your hopes his wink,
After nose had snatched the stink?

I swear, you to john he’d link!

As the Sun goes up
Some go down
Some rise up 
And some lie down

Shine them shoes boy
	Clean that gun
Count our dead 
	When the day is done

Rinse and repeat
	Rinse and repeat
		Rinse and repeat
And cry RETREAT 

But there is no going back

	I’ve tried

Rinse and Repeat

So, we get trenched into this sniper’s ground?
Round after round after round after round.

So, we get put here to fight someone’s war?
Man after man after man after man.

So, we breath gun smoke and the rotting human corpse?
Night after day after day after night after night after day.

So, we must run and fire into no man’s land?
Bang after bang after bang after bang.

So, we must kill for what is must?
Death after death after death after death.

So, we must fight and die to end all wars?
War after war after war after war after war after war after war after war.

Wash Rinse Repeat

I have trained my whole adulthood for the challenge of this day. 
The toil and sweat and sacrifice, the monotony of drill, 
All those years of manning up to my ambition.
I have wrestled the beast and disciplined my will.
I mean to vanquish my opponent for the golden prize
I'll enter the ring and trust my luck to fate.
I have trained my whole adulthood for the challenge of this day. 
When I rise again come dawn, I will reiterate.

Wash, Spin, Rinse -- Again

Indictment-Excitement
  makes 'The News'

Politician-Magicians
  spin their 'Views'

Anonymous Economists
  sing 'The Blues'

Abolitionishist-Destructionists
  light the 'fuse'

Spanners and Scammers
  pay their dues

Society's Credibility
  badly bruised...

Rinse and Repeat
David J Walker

Sometimes I wonder
At the surrender of senses 
Navigating fences of 
social media

The proud crown 
Of the dumbing down 
in popular conversation
A population

	More than willing to
Rinse and repeat 
	Rinse and repeat

The same misinformation
Again and
	Again and 
Again

Unable to discern 
The position of 
A lost North Star

Crank Heart

Shallow breath, eyes dead
crank heart out of reverie 
let it rinse and spin

Rinse and Repeat

My mind is politically correct,
but my shoes have no soul.
I have gained some retrospect,
after losing self control.

I’m washing my brain.
A clean slate is what I need.
Reprogramming my frame,
rinse and repeat.

Concepts of Revalance and Desentcy

ded by his need 
to be successful
he retrieved the
knowledge of his past
to restore and maintain
his present.
he read the
"Dignity Recovery Act"
and studied it to refine what he thought
had been
to be what should be.
a present in a positive
definition
of realism.
"Accuracy of the Devoted"
was another written script he read
from start to finsh
only to diminish his own pride
" the induction to Reputation

was denounced, from
every aspect of his

a city sleeps
days debris washed away

RINSE AND REPEAT

the wall of my shower stumbles up stairs
as he sings: “shower time”

his feet caught him unaware
and the Laurel to his Hardy

follows, with a folded ladder
I duck twice...to the left, to the right

“thanks for showering me with laughs,”
I jest, as I warn, that a poet captures

the mind’s snapshot and adds
it to her faux pas poetry collection.
