NOTE: the definition of some words is аt the bottom.* Nettles by Vernon Scannell My son aged three fell in the nettle bed. 'Bed' seemed a curious name for those green spears, That regiment of spite behind the shed: It was no place for rest. With sobs and tears The boy came seeking comfort and I saw White blisters beaded on his tender skin. We soothed him till his pain was not so raw. At last he offered us a watery grin, And then I took my billhook, honed the blade And went outside and slashed in fury with it Till not a nettle in that fierce parade Stood upright any more. And then I lit A funeral pyre to burn the fallen dead, But in two weeks the busy sun and rain Had called up tall recruits behind the shed: My son would often feel sharp wounds again. Poet Among BarbariansBy: John Gould Fletcher The rain drives, drives endlessly,Heavy threads of rain;The wind beats at the shutters,The surf drums on the shore;Drunken telephone poles lean sideways;Dank summer cottages gloom hopelessly;Bleak factory-chimneys are etched on the filmy distance,Tepid with rain.It seems I have lived for a hundred yearsAmong these things;And it is useless for me now to make complaint against them.For I know I shall never escape from this Dull barbarian country,Where there is none now left to lift a cool jade winecup,Or share with me a single human thought. *In case you need it...some word meanings Guile: treacherous cunning; skillful deceit. Myriad: a vast number; many. Subtleties: being difficult to detect. Vile: loathsome; disgusting. Docile: yielding to direction. Tepid: only slightly warm; luke warm.
