The Alchemist

Her tender craft at making potions
supple alchemist with acumen
juices joy with sprinkled citric acid
three or four dashes of sesame oil
nose her gauge and taste her guide
sweep of smoking sage purifies

for Sunday Whirl:

  1. This alchemist doesn't mess around. She gets right to work, does what needs to be done, and gets results! I like your spare writing style!
