Nother Poem

This is a piece I've been noodling with for a while -- comments welcome!
Alchemical Arithmetic

One is one
A singleton
A singularity

One so true
And it is Two
A right duality

The couple dance
In just romance
What is become is Three

A triad - more
And it is Four
In squared simplicity

Four maidens move
Till Five doth prove
The pentacle more free

Five points revolve
Thus Six resolve
From possibility

Sext to Sept
The kingdom kept
A Seventh part in fee

Seven gems
In diadem
Make Eight scintillantly

Eight legs leap
Thrice Three to reap
And Nine descends the tree

Nine ages man
Contrives to span
The Tenth triumphantly

A rounded Ten
Around again
Eleven makes a plea

Eleven wights
Then Twelve delights
In sovereignity

This rhyme complete
The numbers meet
In perfect alchemy

-----

Listing stuff

Done:
4 hours of work for my dad
Tweeked and got all 12 numbers into Counting Alchemy
Made two icons, including a JanMo one
Uploaded big ol' picture files to my gallery

Hope everyone had a good Twelfth Night!
