Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 My New Alchemization

I had heard that new alchemy

Is turning the base self to gold

Of spiritual awareness be.

Excited on what I'd been told,

I found a new alchemist and

Took my base self and went to her.

She told me she did understand,

And could transform me, yes, for sure.

But first I needed turn into

Gold, all of my possessions had,

And give that all to, yes, guess who,

With promise of changed good from bad.

The new alchemist failed, instead

I turned into a lump of lead.
