classmate response to Jamie Lynn's Bartender

I feel this poem does well in executing archetypal imagery.  I visualize the witches pot, apothecary bottles, billowing smoke, and the power the bartender has over the stereotypical bar guest.  "Venomous concoctions reeking of death", sets a moody feeling that can truly be felt in a bar.  Perhaps the creation of monsters can be explored to continue with this theme.
