Himalayan Nettle [Villanelle]
The hardy Himalayan nettle stings. It felt like punching piles of jellyfish. The slightest brush feels like a snapped bowstring. But the balm of time bowstrings quickly bring. The nettle's cure proved far more standoffish. The hardy Himalayan nettle stings. Two days on, the nettle still sent its ping. My hand numb like I'd fondled Fugu fish. That slightest brush felt like a snapped bowstring. I put my useless limb in a web sling. Not really, but it did hurt fiercely-ish. That hardy Himalayan nettle stings. Oh! of such agony Divas do sing. Not really, but it was unpleasant-ish. The slightest brush felt like a snapped bowstring. Stabbed by roadside nettle in Darjeeling is a fate upon no one I would wish. The hardy Himalayan nettle stings. The slightest brush feels like a snapped bowstring.

Kim Jong-Un vanished for a while last June. So thin, all thought him sick, but he was just learning chopsticks.

Line of Lost Souls [Rondeau Triolet]
I'm queued into a file of lost psyches. It winds through time but lacks a hint of space, and something heads the line that's unappeased I'm queued into a file of lost psyches. A greedy devourer remains displeased despite the endless line and racing pace. I'm queued into a file of lost psyches, it winds through time but lacks a hint of space.

Hectic [Verse]
They were called to heaven, as if it did exist, but they could not accept a perfect state of bliss. They're wrapped in the struggle - attached to their own strife, seeking out some jarring rush in a leaden life.

Three Little Lost Thoughts [Free Verse]
When one loses one's keys, they're always the last place you had them, but when you find yourself - more often than not - it's someplace you've never been before. There's love that isn't love at first sight, but there's also beauty that's not beautiful at first sight. Humans are the most absurd creatures, and our competition includes animals that lick their own butts.

moss grows on granite;
nature swallowing gravestones
and erasing names

Vulnerable Moment [Haiku]
warmed in morning sun - the butterfly slowly unfolds, briefly helpless
