You can't finish Spring cleaning
because every old thing becomes
Inspiration for a poem.
2. Instead of planting that garden you
Promised yourself, you write about
Your metaphorical one.
3. Because you're a romantic poet,
You ruined your flowers by plucking
Each petal in a She loves me, she loves me
Not tirade.
4. Every stupid bird is a new poem.
5. April rains bring about the
Melancholic poem inside you,
And you love it!
6. Instead of playing with your
Kids outside, you write about
It instead.
7. Even though you are allergic
To everything, you take that stroll
In the park you write about
So often.
8. Spring's promise is really just like
The New Year's poem you wrote,
New beginnings and all.
9. While digging through your Spring
Cleaning, you find your old poems
And decide to post them on
Hello poetry.
10. The garage is a mess, nothing
Is getting done, but in the poem you just wrote
Is about the hard work it was.
11. You learn the name of
new birds and flowers to make
Your poem fancier.
12. And finally,
You really don't like Spring,
But its a season, and we're poets,
So yeah.
