9 Haikus For Pollen Allergies

By

I.
I try to run fast

Breathing heavy and in time

Alas, sneeze attack.

II.
Woman looks at me

I look back, no eye contact

Boogers on my shirt

III.
Man sneezes on bus

I say “bless you,” he repeats

Define etiquette?

IV.
Swollen, tearing eyes

Rubbed for brief comfort, now red.

People think I’m high.

V.
Antihistamine.

Whoever invented this

I would like to kiss.

VI.
Synchronous sneezes

Echoed response, now smiles

Mute understanding

VII.
Itchy throats request

Relief through scratching and touch

Just ate seven pounds

VIII.
Those not yet driven

Get an unpleasant surprise

When cars are yellow.

IX.
What must it be like

To live where no plant life is?

Let’s go to Greenland.
