Ode To Hay Fever

By Amanda Gorman

Allergies…
cause my eyes to itch and make me sneeze
when the pollen floats in from the trees.
Oh, I’m not pleased with allergies.

Logically
I know pollen is good for the bees
And it helps create some other trees,
But it’s not good for me to breathe.

Why this yellow dust on my car, my house, my hair?
I am surrounded with this pollen everywhere!

I love spring,
Listening to all the birds sing,
Warmer days and blooms on everything.
Allergies are the only things
Negative about the spring.
