Above the asphalt path
midges hover over
the warm air
and in one's face -
first of the season
revolving in the morning.
Wattle blossom threatens
passersby with pollen-
allergy sneezes.
Minor irritants of the season
*
In the lower retail hall
of our local mall
the big Nativity has been hauled
out of storage, re-installed.
Tinsel tassels sprout,
Soon Santa will be out and about.
Irritant of the season.
