Ode to Pollen
You didn't get the memo,
So I'll say it loud and clear:
You do not belong in my airways.
I need them for breathing, not sneezing.
It's hard to concentrate
With the throbbing head,
Intensely itchy eyes
And irritated skin.
Please go somewhere else.
You will not have any luck
Growing plants or trees
Inside my nose.

Somebody once said to me that during the summer months we are literally being raped by trees and now I can’t un-hear it. 😂
Yep. Serial sniffler here. I got it.

Ha ha, thanks for that image! I thought I was done with hay fever for this year, but I haven't stopped sneezing today.

I had it mildly when I was younger, and it all but went away after my pregnancies. Then in 2020 it came back much worse and I've had two terrible summers with it now. It's past 11pm here and I'm still sneezing.

I do have eye drops, which sting like hell and then help. Plus tablets, sprays and inhalers! 🤧🙄

Haha - well done! Visualizing trees sprouting out of the nose now....
I hope you find some relief. Hayfever sucks.
