Spring

Spring;   my second least favorite season
Hay fever, runny nose and sneezing is my reason
The moment flowers begin to bloom 
Kicks off my discomfort and overall gloom
Everyone else sees the beauty of this season
I only see my body’s treacherous treason
Flowers bloom, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze 
Head so stuffy I can barely think, 
Morning dew, fresh cut grass, afternoon breeze 
Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, they always come in threes.

Oh yes, I understand this very well. The pollen gives me hives to go along with all of the others. Love the sun, but can't be out in it for long during this time of year.
