Blooming Trees

The trees are blooming
and there is a breeze.
Palo Verde flowers
are making me sneeze.

I take pills
so I don't wheeze
during this season
of allergies.


    Thank goodness, I don't have allergies, but I have friends who do.  This is not a good time of year for them.  When I lived in North Carolina and the pine trees would bloom, everything would receive a coat of yellow pollen.  If it rained, there would be a yellow river flowing in the gutters taking the rain away.
    Here is your poetry challenge for today.  Can you write a list poem about all the things that make you sneeze?  Have you ever sneezed when the sun light hit you directly in your eyes?  Boy, is that a good way to learn not to look directly at the sun.  Have fun writing your poem.
