Nettle
The misty grey morning
chilled the air when I was
walking on the dewy green
grass with a little tinge 
of white. I could hear the 
soft pattering of rain and the
small squeaky chirps from birds.

In the garden I reached over
and grabbed the wet handfuls 
of lettuce.

Suddenly, pains started grasping my
skin, like rocks scarping repeatedly
on my arm.

The gloomy green stinging nettle
had briskly brushed against my 
hand. The pain was everlasting, 
like numbers going on forever.

The sky was swirling,
the watery plants blurring
screams of fright, sunlight 
turning off.

A Penguin in the Amazon
As the flightless bird
wanders freely in the 
humid rainforest, he is slowly 
dying from not being in the 
right climate. As sweat binds
on it's feathered 
forehead, it waddles down 
the Amazon River. Bullsharks
ferociously jump and try
to tear at the penguin
trying to take a bite 
at the helpless bird.
It walks back up the bank 
into the deadly forest.
Its orange feet are in pain
as it walks
across broken sharp sticks
and bark off trees like its 
shattered dreams and memories 
of home.

Nate
