Spring Is Not All

Spring is not all good when it steals my charms
Losing poise with joy as I run around 
With bright flowers on hands, I stretch my arms
Twirling and cheering as colors  abound.

Spring is not all fun each day of my life
When bees sting my eyes, lips then spiders bite
While collecting bright hues with my cute knife
I endure all pains, thinking such prize is right.       

Spring is not all beneficial to health
Sneezing a lot one day, so light headed
Rashes appear on flawless skin, my wealth
Oh, spring! Your lover is much rewarded. 

Spring is not all, it’s not moon, stars or sun
Under one dark sky… its surprise, still grand!

You are absolutely right Len. Spring has its adverse side too. Flowers are so beautiful. But many are allergic to the pollen from certain flowers, making them sneeze endlessly. All the Best dear friend.

Yes, spring is very much a mixed bag--lovely blooms and the resulting sneezes. Good job, Len. Janice
