Spring Sneezing
By Stephanie Henson 2024 [email protected] @stepha_henson Twitter Word Count: 149 GIF image - A tree being shaken with a cloud of pollen coming out of it Lush trees are yellow tinged, like they are draped in gold dust, yet not from fairies. An eerie fog has cast over the atmosphere. With Mother Nature keeping careful watch. As winds whip and branches sway away the puffs . . . What emerges next is a powdery potion that projects particles into the air. Bees in a feeding frenzy, Feasting on power protein while providing plant to plant pollination that scatters allergens across the skies. Pollen monster clouds form but not your typical storm. The leaves finger paint on nature's canvas. The sensation tickles my nose, but no one is laughing. Twitching and itching, I feel it coming on. The season for suffering begins— Wheezing like a fire breathing dragon. Invading my senses until all I can do is . . . Ah Ah Ah Achoo Spring sneezing Nose running Tissues wiping Tears falling What might cure this ill? A double dose of Benadryl! https://tenor.com/view/pollen-spring-tree-trees-tree-pollen-gif-13947032049459290070

That gif is amazing! Allergies are one of the first things that come to my mind about spring also. "Pollen monster clouds form but not your typical storm" is a fantastic line! Best of luck with the contest.
