It sure does sting, Sara! Then, once it's boiled it loses its strength (reminds me of Samson and his unplanned haircut!). All the best. // paul

Hmmmm...reminds me of my poem "Nettled"!!

I like the idea of using the last 2 lines this would be a good senryu! [the sting of nettle/ brings pleasure from pains sharp touch:she moans] that would show lust instead of telling - Light & Love!
