Nettle

L.M Owens

After reading a book called The Lost Words, a book about acrostic poems I decided to write my own acrostic poem. It is about a common garden pest the Nettle. I'm sure most people will have been stung by a nettle at least once in their lifetime. Hope you enjoy!😀

 

N	ettle, you’re a sly green devil lurking at roadsides amongst the overgrown verge for an unsuspecting victim to cross your path
E	very innocent that hops past receives the same treatment. Red hot spikes prick the casualty, causing stinging irritation a
T	ingling sensation. Mass infuriation
T	otal condemnation! Yet you stand tall as white bumps rise.
L	aughing in the long grass, beneath large bushes, growing from the
E	arth along the forest path. But take note Nettle, one of these days I’ll make you into soup!
