Stinging Nettle
The first among to wake up in the Spring 
The award winner, comes with a sting
Stinging Nettle pubescent and green
Cannot touch the super herbal queen

Urtica dioica is the botanic name 
Dioica is the one with European fame
Tropical cousins are all not the same
Strong and sharp,...

Premium Member A Stinging Regret
She was 
Within striking distance 
Eagerly waiting,
With bells on, for him.
She could have been 
His million dollar baby.
Pity, he took too long 
To pounce.
Between a blink, 
Far out of sight was she.
He strained his eyes 
Longingly searching for her 
Across a desolate expanse 
Into nothingness.
She's...

The Stinging Kind
Jellyfish is the stinging kind,
it is found in droves
on our crowded beaches...
any little sting can drive anyone wild.


Yes, they are spineless, mordant and gelitous...
being closed watched by large gulls with a hungry palate,
but are chased away by dogs so ferocious;
I'm wondering how they will look...

Stinging Flesh
The Smell of a flower so fresh and potent
Taste of virgin now become of bloom
Feel alive so tenderly touched upon
Gates of fire cinder my thoughts of temptation
A las heaven strikes my body and soul, I smile
His physique piled of smooth stone as of culture
To the...

The Good Stinging Snow
Sweeps down over the school yard

Suddenly, totally unexpectedly.

At once, 

Squeals of delight,

Exultant laughter from

The cruel children there.

They suddenly look up from their bullying of

Their helpless, disabled class mate,

And letting him be, instead the bullies smile,

Up into the falling icy snow.

Giggling, the distracted, pint-sized tyrants

Catch snow...

The Stinging Withdrawl
Barefoot you reach 
for candidacy to
    get partitioned.
    The hatred had divided
the grass.

    The suspense
was intense when
    earth failed to
accept the-
defeat.

    A drinking-
cloud will settle

The Stinging Tail
Malign me to your heart’s content
Though it makes no difference
Cos your vile vitriol denotes a malcontent
Drowning in a bay bereft of synergy science.

In your time of need, I lent you my shoulders
To cry on. Paradox! I nurtured a ribald rival
Whose motivation smashed my reputation on...

The smoke stings my eyes
As every part of me dies,
While some part of me
Has a lot of endless cries.
But still I let us just be....

Premium Member Wished
Ted is a novice when skating on ice
Kept slipping and falling twenty times twice
Body shattered and battered
And his teeth were all scattered	
Prayed the tooth fairy will give a good price

Soups and soft food is all he can now eat
But he fancied something that is more...
