The prompt for NaPoWriMo today is to write a poem in the form of letters exchanged between myself and another person. I decided to write a poem to pollen (obviously not a person) because my allergies have been much worse this last week. I'm ready to feel normal again, well, as normal as I can get with having allergies all year round.
Dear Pollen
By Candace Shultz
Dear Pollen,
Today I heard your oak numbers are very high.
No wonder my eyes are itchy, red, and dry.
My nose is runny. I keep on sneezing.
At night I'm coughing, sometimes wheezing.
My sinuses hurt. My head, it aches.
Knock it off, for goodness sake!
Please don't continue this any longer
Or I fear my allergies will only get stronger.
Sincerely,
A human who just wants to breathe
Dear Human,
I do apologize.
Our tiny grains are on the rise.
You must suffer so that we can live.
For this reason, please do forgive.
Sincerely,
Pollen everywhere
Oh, lovely!
