Shaking out dirty rugs <br />That cover the earth eaten floor <br />Dusting the cathedral beams <br />That reach for heaven's door <br />Cant quite get it all <br />Fevered pitch to faraway heights <br />Tall ceilings in my den pretend <br />The dust has misted in flight <br />Shine upon the tables glaze <br />Clean reflections bent <br />Cleaning-clearing and polishing <br />Spotless-time- well spent <br />Carpeting link that floats the sky <br />Vacuum packed it twice <br />Spot remove-the black eyed groove <br />That dirties this carpetless prize <br />Spring cleaning on into June <br />With bleached out whale bones <br />Hanging from yonder oak paneling <br />Sparkling clean crystal gold tones!<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spring-cleaning-4/
