POEM STARTER

Write a poem or short story about an alchemist.

You could focus on real elements, or take a metaphorical approach to focus on a person who is trying to change something into another.

Will You Let Me?

Can I change you?

A far off, deep set horizon, barren and black

To greenery, or water, teeming with life

Can I change you?

Guarded by solid walls, stone cold, unmoving

To glimmer of emotion, vulnerability, raw honesty

Can I change you?

A void of worry, anxiety, irrelevant insecurities

To deep breaths, grounded and secure

Can I change you?

Haunted and scarred by regrets, your past

To healing, nurtured, faced forward

I want to help.

Will you let me?
