Happy Friday!
Today is an unusual one for me because I have no teaching! Usually I have some lessons to teach but everyone is on holiday so that means I get an extra day off which is nice. Hopefully this means a little bit more reading.
The chosen poem for this week is by Hugo Williams. I must admit I hate a nettle sting hence why I have chosen this poem. I do like nettle tea though, very calming.
Joy
Not so much a sting
as a faint burn
not so much a pain
as the memory of pain
the memory of tears
flowing freely down cheeks
in a sort of joy
that there was nothing
worse in the world
than stinging nettle stings
and nothing better
than cool dock leaves.
