Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST The poem "Nettles" is written in one single stanza (Verse). What message does this convey? The poem is about a father grieving about the fact that he cannot protect his son from feeling pain in life, just like he cannot stop him from being stung by the nettle bed. URGENT - please help!

Answer 1

The nettles of the title are introduced in a simple, rhythmically regular end-stopped line consisting of a single clause: noun phrase followed by verb phrase.  Yet they change their character – first, ‘curious’ to the adult poet who is interested in the paradoxical language with which we describe them, and then a ‘regiment of spite’, when we, the child and the father all discover what they can do.
The poem is a short account of the day that the poet’s son was stung by nettles – and what happened afterwards.  But more interesting than the events are the shadows of war that linger in the mind of the ex-soldier father, causing him to meditate on the cyclical nature of pain and violence.
