food allergies are serious
milk, eggs, shellfish
three common allergies
I know a family who lost a two-year-old son to milk
almonds, walnuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans
five more common allergies
if you open a peanut butter jar, it can be deadly to some
my nemesis is hazelnut
after consuming, my throat closes up
I am wheezing and can barely breathe, needing my inhaler
English walnuts are a

Spring Is Here
Spring is here to stay
For three months, hooray!
More bluebirds are chanting
More tulips are blooming
More trees are growing
And dusts are in the air.
The weather is cool, not cold
More houses are being sold
More joggers run in the streets
More retirees are warming the seats
More athletes are at their meets
And allergies are in the air.
Spring is here to stay
For

Allergies
I’m trying to write but I can not
At this time nose is full of snot
I don’t have covid or a cold
Wouldn't know it why I told you so
Tis such a pain when on the PC
My nose and brain start draining
I can not write due to allergies
So goodnight I’m going to sleep.

On Becoming a Dog
I'm starting to feel that some thing major may be amiss,
when I asked myself this am where is my water dish.
I truly love dogs but currently own none.
Could it be possible that I am turning into one?
I enjoy my exercise and like to eat alot.
Some days I now pant, especially when it's hot.
Most mornings I'm

ALLERGIES
I’m tired of these rains of salty tears
Caused by allergens in my atmosphere.
Since allergies last the entire year,
Why they’re called “seasonal” isn’t clear.
The stinging spores are always near,
Welling and swelling and telling,
I fear, of my constant felling
From constant tears.
I can’t get my eye makeup to take,
Shake, bake, or stay
Because it bleeds and flakes
Due

Allergies Hit Early
red eyes
teary
itchy
bleary
view is
dreary
feeling
weary
dull and
drowsy
looking
lousy
big loud
sneezes
Nature
teases
strong pills
eyedrops
irksome
itch stops
no more
ACHOO’s~~
good-bye
to blues.

Autumn Allergies
A nose malady
autumn smells of burning leaves
inhalers handy
smoky trails wind heavenward,
‘midst sneezes I wheeze a word

Allergies, why do you plague me?
Making my head feel like a balloon
ready to bust open
My eyes water and burn
Allergies, why must you plague me?
Oh, I can feel the migraine
you cause trying to come on
My nose is trying to run away too
Allergies, why must you plague me so?
You make me want to rip

Summer Allergies
A field full of lovely black-eyed susans
A patch of ground I must view from afar,
For my allergies flare at the intrusions
My sinuses start burning like fire.
My eyes erupt in uncontrollable tears,
The nasal passages completely plug up,
I feel like my head is about to explode
I’ll have a miserable allergic flare-up.
Ragweed causes a similar reaction
Whenever I am

A Spring Lover With Allergies
At last spring is coming—Achoo!--
with songbirds and skies of clear blue.
My nose will be dripping
and meds I’ll be sipping
while lovely blooms burst into view.
Though allergies briefly displease
my joy won’t be quelled by a sneeze.
My eyes will be bleary,
red, itchy, and teary;
but bring on those fun springtime sprees!

Fertility, change and love,

In a feverish demise...

Nostrils soaked from

Me and My Allergies

sneeze sneeze cough couch
rubbing my red eyes now
throat is starting to close up
sneeze sneeze cough cough
a smoker’s car
uncontrollable sneezinig and coughing
I can barely breathe
I am wheezing now
sneeze sneeze cough cough
Elderly aunt all dressed in pink
Walks toward me for an embrace
As she gets closer I begin backing away
I am in full blown
