Vernal Bloom

Today is March 31 at last
What could be more refreshing
A cold dark span of winter gone
Regretful days at best depressing

Optimism rules these days 
This vernal time of wonder
Gosling chirp unfazed by 
A distant sound of rolling thunder

Newly sprouted flower buds reach 
For blue sky’s temperate breezes
Most of all spring to me means
red wet swollen eyes… and sneezes

If only I could feast my eyes on 
Natures treasures offered me
But floating allergens assault my eyes 
Making spring too hard to see
