As a noun or a verb?
Noun:
There is poison in this well!
Verb:
Your cooking is going to poison me one day.
Edit: Um, infinitive is a perfectly valid form of a verb. The definition of "infinitive" is an uninflected form of the verb. It may be uninflected but it is still a verb. So how is my answer wrong?

above answerer is incorrect in example sentence for poison as a verb--her example is an infinitive (to+a verb).
anyway, poison as a verb: i have poisoned my pet dog by feeding it chocolate! :(
other sentences with poison in it:
this surely looks like a case of food poisoning.
my friend is in hospital because he has been poisoned.
what are you going to do with that poison?
certain chemicals were mixed together to create the poison.
the poisonous gas killed many people.
the poison in venom is fatal in most snakes.
be careful not to accidentally brush yourself against the poison ivy.
enough? :)

I'd better back off a little with Eddy because his girlfriend, Trish, looked at me like I was poison in the cafeteria today.
