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.

A Recipe For Disaster

Poetry

- One lump of coal (preferably from a naughty kid’s stocking)

- A cockatrice egg (this one calls for quiet stalking)

- One large bundle of Revrious Xolder

- All four leaves of a four leaf clover

- A single drop of water from the wretched River Styx.

- The blood of a frog and the tears of a hog (use caution not to mix).

- One perfectly portioned cup of salt that’s lost it’s taste.

- An old cauldron

- An eclipsed sun (be careful not to waste)

Great concept nicely done 👌

Would’ve loved to see: “one perfectly portioned pillar of Salt that’s ‘Lots’ it’s taste”.

But that’s my pun-problem I’m projecting lol

I really like this! I could only wonder what it could conjure.

Rubbish

It’s all a plague, this life. It’s all a test, and we’re failing and falling and bound to come crawling to grace - and Christ was a seed, as are we, to be placed into the ground as we wait for the Spring.
