What Do Poetry & Alchemy Have In Common?

Word for the Week

amal·gam:
a mixture of different elements

Poetry and Alchemy have more in common than one might expect. Both require the use of appropriate measures. The correct application of the necessary elements, words, punctuation, narrative, meaning, stress and rest vs. stone, mineral, fire, water, earth and air, determine the quality and quantity of the end product of both processes. If the guiding principals of either art/science are misapplied, you can end up with a real stinker.
