Spring Is In the Air

My itchy bloodshot eyes behold with joy sunshine and blue skies. Like faucets, nostrils flow, yet scents of spring I’ll relish each day as I walk to and fro. We allergy victims have our ways of fending off demons that would rob us of pleasures on lovely days. We use strong eye drops to still the itch and clear redness. We go fill those scrips and take our pills, for spring is in the air! syllables checked on howmanysyllables.com Date: March 25, 2019 Contest Title: Spring Is in the Air Placed 7th Sponsor: Emile Pinet

Hello Janice … for every positive there appears to be a negative. Pollen brings on blasted hay fever to make us miserable - nicely written Janice - Lindsay
