I've been sneezing my head off and rubbing my eyes all week, Mary Lee. You've captured pollen perfectly! -- Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/
Steam and pollen mix and can't decide if to rise or fall. Yellow-green or green-yellow, this powder-paste coats the dashboard. With a finger I record the date: Beltane 2010.
Not sure if my response came through so here it is again. Ah! Allergy season is upon us and in my case even the mask I wear is giving me symptoms. Your haiku states what is happening quite well.

Ha! I had pollen mixed with frost this morning...so weird and an unattractive mush for sure. I have so enjoyed your haiku diary.
ReplyDeleteClever haiku, nice colors, I hope the car doesn't have allergies, thanks Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your haiku diary!
ReplyDeleteYour haiku is a perfect way to document one detail of the season. I notice the pollen on my porch chair.
ReplyDeleteOurs hasn't arrived yet for the sneezing season but soon!
ReplyDeleteYes! This is what prompted a haiku earlier this week, that darn yellow dust. Your glaze of gold sounds so much prettier.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing cars don't sneeze! Pollen is not my friend.
ReplyDeleteYes! We are covered with that glaze of gold, too.
ReplyDeleteThere's a surprise! This one made me chuckle a little.

ReplyDeleteI know that golden hue well! At least on the maroon, it's a great color combo. ;)
ReplyDeleteAh, that dreaded "glaze of gold." Our's isn't here yet, but will be soon. I love all of your haiku, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful poem! A beautiful way of describing something that requires a lot of work to clean up ;-)
ReplyDeleteA true seasonal 'car-meleon', Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteLove how you connect nature and human tech things, Mary Lee. And it IS all connected.
ReplyDeleteA magical cat? No it's the magic of nature!
