How they look is quite deceiving
Nature has the strangest ways
To leave your senses grieving
That something, oh so beautiful
Can hurt you, with a single stroke
Stay away from the stinging nettles
For it’s pain, they shall evoke

Nutz! I nominated you for The Top Prompt Poetess Award! You must lavish magnificent praise on the blogger who nominated you (me), answer 358 questions, nominate 666 bloggers, and ask them to respond to the same 358 questions you were required to answer.

LOL 666 bloggers, you devil!! I’m honored that fellow bloggers think of me for the awards, I just don’t have the time to do them. I’m barely able to respond to comments!!
