word of the day - nettle

screeching
and scratching,
crunching poking
purposeful picking
and pestering

specifically the original
tormenting bug
teeming with bother
pleased with his gall
the smirk on his face

says it all

he lurks unnoticed
in the corner
near a wall

muttering words
while puttering 'round

others shrink away
from the sound
souls disappearing
and fearing
his nearing

a nar nettle
he is
and one day
he'll be
plagued
by the space
swelling to
a sizable, empty
periphery
with no one
left to irk
spinning in circles
becoming berserk

the fate of a jerk
