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?
