Poem: "A Keen Eye for Alchemy"

This poem came from the February 7, 2012 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from marina_bonomi, ellenmillion, janetmiles, and puffbird. It belongs to the Steamsmith series, which you can explore further via the Serial Poetry page. Special thanks to djinni for the new icon of Maryam!

This is not one of my favorite series, but I did really enjoy this poem. I think it was the cheetah that did it.
