Ich liebe den frischen Duft der Frühlingsluft;
Solange die Luft pollenfrei ist, ist alles in Ordnung.
Translation:
I love the fresh scent of spring air;
As long as the air is pollen-free, everything is fine.
Pollen count is king this week
My eyes are red and they leak
Coughing and sneezing everywhere
King pollen count is never fair
flowers bloom in brilliant hues~flirt with bumblebees powdered with pollen
milder days and nights
more frequent pollen showers
newly built bird nests
pollen in the air
yellow dust on everything
a true springtime sight
soft balmy weather
dandelions are popping
pollen everywhere
sub standard, expect
wrong eyes and damaged
no checks
judged and jealous
at being the difference
you couldn't fill us
without my sanctity
i'd swallow
and until it bends
im the pillow
it bites and i learn to cry
hunting my own mountains
she will have learned saying goodbye's
goodbye's the way i see
one day i can learn to breath
hates the day i ran my mouth down
down to the inner city
then he went a gave up
drinking all the garbage
sips out of his dirty gulp's
freelancing ain't what you hear from
it's earth, sun
remember she aint your mum
call me out, outside into the dirty fields to run
(To be sung to Cruella DeVil from Disney's 101 Dalmatians)
Pollina DeVil. Pollina DeVil.
She ensures that her pollen
Makes you feel ill.
She wants you to buy
Her allergy pills.
Pollina. Pollina.
She loves seeing your
Money fill her till.
Payments to Pollina DeVil.
She's found a way to make
And spread fake pollen.
She loves to hear you cough
And see you sneeze.
Your red and itchy eyes,
More products you will buy.
High pollen counts
Floating in the breeze.
This selfish skunk,
She markers her map.
She plans where to hide them
Then set off each trap.
This villain must pay
The peoples compo bill.
Pollina. Pollina DeVil.
Ballerina barre bob, white stocking wings whir
Mushroom plume tutu trails translucent steam
Sticky foot pick ups signal patient Spring’s stir
Pollen swollen coconut tip tongues crop cream
Statue branches pop rabbit ears amazement
Magnolia ruby tuxedo tucks ruffle ivory shirt
Wasps whisper, biscuit sugar stored fragrant
Whimsical wizard voila Iced VoVo for dessert
Tinkerbell petals tender invite insects parched
Peter Pan aeroplane dive in opioid pond drone
Champagne flutes etch a marigold moustache
Bon voyage hibernate, heavy hive honeycomb
Buzz! Botanical I’m back!
20th Royal Jelly July
drifting pollen swathes
golden contours round wood’s edge
fox cubs investigate
always have a thirst
solve pollen which is the worst
practiced and rehearsed
A distorted body
Trying to right itself
Skeleton pulls muscles
Muscles pull joints
Raindrops of Hope
On the window pane
White pollen floats
In ink on my page
And the pain
Flows into the
Bathroom drain !
I see you honey bee
on humming erratic flight
on route to the garden bed
crash-landing on petals bright
burying head first into a flower
tumbling in the pollen white
vibrating noisily with purpose
then launching out with pollen tight
weighed down with your sweet cargo
buzzing loudly in delight
9 August 2022
Winter soars away
On wings of butterflies.
Poppies and phlox burst with glory
As bees pursue their pollen.
With honey found among the flowers
When first love burst into bloom.
Bite Size Poem no.47 Poetry Contest
I saw several Johnny-Jump-Ups today
In the meadow they have come to play
Shouting to me as I pass them by,
The pollen is heavy, I’m starting to cry
This spring ailment cuts short my walk
When I get home, I can barely talk,
It seems to be worse than in the fall
When the ragweed comes to call
But this year spring is heard enough
When one can’t breathe, it’s really tough,
I can’t hardly wait for a pleasant summer
When taking my walk won’t be a bummer.
