Rich pigments blink anew
on alder branches aloft –
amber-colored catkins,
countless weepy, oblong
piñatas punched
by turbid air, burst forth
showers of pollen-laden haze,
sending me in sneezing fits
to my knees.

A symposium of thought & whimsy
I’m surprised I hadn’t thought of this idea before, but I just love the image that this conjures. It’s playful and the way I would tell a child about spring, pollen and allergies. Apologies for not being able to put the accent over the ‘n’…is there a way to do this is Word Press? I hope you enjoy!
It makes pollen seem a little more bearable.
Thank you! My allergies have begun to act up again, but rather than look at spring in a negative light, I wanted to blindfold my perception and just take a child-like swing at nature. I’m glad it is a little more bearable now….and bless you 🙂

My allergies are in full force today, pollen swaying in the air under my nose like a sweetly scented piñata explosion….
