Considering Sisyphus, Hercules, and My Basement

By 1 and 12

parenthesized,

spring cleaning feels

human-sized;

it's a big stable

but you're able.

Seen as more 

than just one year:

considerably worse

I fear.

The bitter pill —

a rock and a hill.

An ode, using the term loosely, to a change of season, which from another point of view is no more remarkable than any particular rotation of the left front tire on a light blue 1967 VW Beetle sunroof coupe

My apparently obligatory thing:
(Awestruck words here) Spring. 

Needing Spring

Spring brings newness, warmth and needing;
lawns are bare, in need of seeding,
gardens soon will need some weeding,
springtime humans need more needing.

Spring thing

A house with a porch
and a porch with a swing
and a swing with a friend
that's a spring kind of thing.

Road Degrader

In winter the roads get degraded;
they're salted and plowed and frost-heaved,
so by spring it can feel like we've traded
our shiny smooth cars for humvees.
