Spring Cleaning is Sarah’s dreaded routine
She gets exhausted, drinks lots of caffeine
She goes to her doctor
Who gives her the ‘what-for'
Then shoots Sarah full of adrenaline
Spring Cleaning
Must dust
Clean rug
Cleaning orders
Mop floor
To door
Cranky Cleaner
Clutter
Mutter
Secret of a happy spouse
Clean House*
Glad Spouse
*Written by Tim Smith
Spring enters like
a welcome maid in a dirty
room, cleaning all of Winters mess
and correcting Fall for putting him up to it,
spreading her beauty and love, leaving her
fresh scents & perfect memories
Biding time with hopes that our frigid winter,
Filled with dismal bitter, cold-numbing ways, quick
Warms its heart, unfreezes as ice melts, moaning,
Time for spring cleaning!

Spring Cleaning in the Fall
Too Late to Catch the Ball
Under a Harvest Moon
Those Hungry Hearts will Swoon
Dancing 'Neath Amber Light
Dancing Free thru the Night
Everyone's at the Ball
I'm Spring Cleaning!...That's All?
garage sale
placed junk from the past self
upon the driveway for
the passers by to come and
rummage through
riffling amongst the used goods
that are no longer wanted by the new self
spring cleaning of the garage of the subconscious
have begun
spring cleaning,
spring planting,
spring pruning,
bees,
butterflies,
allergies,
campfires,
marshmallows,
smores,
spring break,
school is out soon,
happy tired children,
the smell of flowers,
fresh spring rain,
first mowed grass,
just a few of my favorite things!
Tree-branched bird staring,
Looking me right in the eyes;
We both confused:
Humsn and natural nature,
Inhibiting springing peace:-
Wars' twofold nature:
Destructive storms and bombings;
Both dooming in spring:-
God's spring cleaning is coming;
Let us get to sowing peace:-
April's here, and winter's gone-
well-worn and gray. Now we're drawn
watching spring repaint each scene-
soft pastels and sunny shades of green.

I welcome winter
with virgin clean fields of white
crisp air, well dressed nights
Spring's voice too, will sing
with nature's scent wakening
be done spring cleaning
Summer will slip in
my shoulders bare as I jog
through drizzle's warm breeze
Fall makes a comeback
I am awed by the clearing
a year laced with zing.

Clearing up
Ideas and concepts
Airing out
Attics and musty closets
Freeing up
Vitality and emotions
Channeling
Energy and growth
Feeling
Whole and in control
Redefining
Living and being me

Cool
Wet blue
Misty hue
Sun warms the pool
Glistening water
Season of thanks.
Pay homage
Share love
Care
Smile
Have fun
Let’s all Dance
Time for romance
Enjoy springtime here
Heat’s coming soon.
Spring cleaning
And then
Relax
Blooms
Cheer spring
Birds on wing
Its November
Month to remember.
Roses will grow.

Spring cleaning my closet
The old toys are gone,
No room now
The age of playing done;
Now on the way outside
Out by the dumpster,
I caught someone’s eye,
A little boy or girls mother;
She looked at me and smiled
Said “Can I take those off your hands?
They are in perfect shape
For my kids they would be grand!”
I handed them over..
no questions asked
better with a child
than in the trash
two shoes lie mirrored
forgotten when spring cleaning -
the wake remembered
The use of 'lie' in line 1 is meant, a play on words to try and create a double image /
feeling depending on how it is read.
1. Two shoes laying side by side, a mirror reflection of each other
2. The shoes, just by their presence there imply that they are used, which as the reader
discovers later in the Haiku is in fact a lie.
Watermelon seed spitting, popsicle licking and locust humming songs;
Summer scenes etched in dark crevices.
Leave pile diving, pumpkin’s smiling, crackling fires with s’mores;
Falling breathlessly, covering mistakes and guilt.
Tongues catching snowflakes, sledding down slopes, hot chocolate parties;
Frozen heart kiss to melt fears and fallacies.
Tulips, May Day baskets, Barefoot puddle dances;
Spring cleaning cobwebs, dusting off today.
Songs found together,
Lost in the ether,
Never again to be heard.
Back in their cases,
Tied up with laces,
Memories captured , like birds.
Turn radio off,
A flame for a moth,
Sad, genial melodies.
They fissure my heart,
And hold me apart,
Snaring with sweet harmonies.
Anthems of love,
lost like a glove,
Just one half still listening.
These tunes heard alone,
Don't have any soul,
They no longer mean a thing.

Wind swept over the fields
blowing the spring dust
winter snow was not heavy
it melted very fast
the quick dryness of spring
made everything cling with dust
wind whipped as the dust
settled on cars, windows
basically everything outside
Spring cleaning needs to be
a good hard rain to renew
and replenish the ground
a good washing to awaken
the greenery of spring
to bring forth early buds
renewal and rebirth
of a new season.

Spring cleaning always starts on some random day.
Realizing that winter has piled up in my home.
When the windows finally open.
The breeze seems to want to take me away.
For a moment, I am mesmerized by what exists in that threshold.
Placing my hand on a dirty windowsill.
Feeling the dusty curtains for a moment.
Then gently shutting the window.
To search the depths of the closet for the window cleaner.
On that random spring day.
Last year is when it once had been
Now spring soon will start over again
Then April showers will finally fall
When birds sing can hear nature call.
Squirrels in circles start running around
Many flourishing flowers may be found
More things to do you were meaning
Such as washing with spring cleaning.
Snow and ice all finally did disappear
Greeted spring and are glad it is here
To truly enjoy and always appreciate
Thank You God for not having to wait.
No man can ever understand,
There's Spring Cleaning across this land,
Miss Mop and Clean waves her hand,
Snoring is his male band,
Not to worry, no time to sup,
Gals want to sparkle up,
One shelf at a time,
Spray and Wipe sublime,
Fresh is the cupboard smell,
Charity bags cast their spell,
All tidy now, so it seems,
Polished the dog, he gleams,
Must detox this brain,
Wasting thoughts quite inane,
Declutter world still revolving,
Spring Cleaning is evolving!
I've been skipping the sidewalks
of my latter poems,
inhaling jasmine
with open lungs-
but sneering at imagery flaws
with a certain hostility
bullies claim
cursing at fallen language,
snubbing punctuation
then suddenly, quite unexpectedly
it bloomed in me,
perfection will always be over there
just ten spaces away
from pen's reach
So I succumb to humility
and adore the cracks
my heart so carefully construed
with her bare hands
yes, falws and all
Sleeping sprawled with open mouth
like bears, in caves, in winter
Dreams cling to your lady bug lights
and rain back down in splinters
Splinters of thoughts carried away by the day
and absorbed into weavings of nights
Swirling around in your room at the sound
of my footsteps ~ a luminous sight
Thick in the midst of your sweet mind's spring cleaning
True hibernation of youth
In the peace of your sleep, I watch over you, keep
all the dreams that you don't want to let loose...
