Dirty Washes Clean

Dirty and clean!

  Nasty filthy skin

 Hazardous to the body

 Unsporting to people's eyes

 Dirty language is not acceptable

 Clean is a way to be perceptible

  Pristine complexion

  Flawless white teeth gleam a smile

  Admirable to all

Well done collaboration....There are variations on dirty, like how dirty; the same with clean... does one have to be pristine to be accepted??? nice twists here.
Best,
Betty

Cleanliness is next to godliness. People who are clean attract a lot of others; people who are nasty hardly find friends. It has lots of effects even on our psyche. Excellent topic and poem.

After a good shower I ponder what it was like hundreds of years ago when that was something only the rich might experience. Or even a bath. Clean is why we live so much longer than they. That's a powerful line, 'clean is a way to be perceptible'.

Ask Kathy what I wrote in the review I just left for her. And check your syllable count.

Thank you, sir!
