Nettles
My son aged three fell in the nettle bed.
'Bed' seemed a curious name for those green spears,
That regiment of spite behind the shed:
It was no place for rest. With sobs and tears
The boy came seeking comfort and I saw
White blisters beaded on his tender skin.
We soothed him till his pain was not so raw.
At last he offered us a watery grin,
And then I took my billhook, honed the blade
And went outside and slashed in fury with it
Till not a nettle in that fierce parade
Stood upright any more. And then I lit
A funeral pyre to burn the fallen dead,
But in two weeks the busy sun and rain
Had called up tall recruits behind the shed:
My son would often feel sharp wounds again.
Vernon Scannell

“Nettles” by poet Vernon Scannell is a reflective poem based on the poet trying to protect his son from hurting himself in a nettle bed. I found this poem very emotional and touching. The poet explores the hardships of life through a father and son relationship. I tend to analyze how does the poet use language and structure to convey a father’s love for his son
The poem is set in the poet’s own garden, with the nettles hidden out of sight behind the shed. The young child (the poet’s son) falls into the nettle bed, which causes him to cry as it hurt him. This poem is extremely effective as it means a lot more than just a boy falling into nettles. The message that the poet has expressed in this poem is that parents can’t always protect their children no matter how hard they try. Also, it is very emotional, about the father’s feelings for his son, which makes the poem very dramatical and more effective.
The use of imagery in the poem effectively helps the poet get his message across. The poet uses different techniques to make the poem more interesting and seem more realistic. This helps us imagine the scene clearly and creates an atmosphere.
“That regiment of spite behind the shed. It was no place for rest” The strong word “spite” emphasizes how much malicious the nettles are, A lot of his anger and frustration towards the nettles is somewhat personified as the nettles being soldiers, this referring them as 'recruits' and ' that regiment of spite'.
Saying a “regiment of spite” links to battle, and the fact these nettles want to cause harm and pain, they are linked to war, as though they are soldiers. It could also symbolize his life as a young man as Scannell was a member of the army however he did not particularly enjoy being a part of it. His hardship and pain expressed in the war and what he witnessed could be the reason for him to display this bitterness throughout the poem and his sons pain form the nettle beds. This personification present in the poem could suggest that he faced a lot of sad times in his life.
