Lucky

Here is a poem I wrote a little bit back. See if you can identify what this is a reference of.
Recalling the fortuitous five,
overwhelming graphite and trees,
yeilding millions atrabilious,
Gregariously defraying unintended tariff,
Before long-- pot full of greens,
inferno burns with antagonism, brewing--
vermin like sweet Vermouth.

All criticism is definitely welcome.

Here is a response from one of my college composition/literature professors:
SuZi: Nice language usage here. My suggestion would be to alternate sibilance with imagery in a lower diction, firstly and generally; you might consider patterns of chosen sounds rather than changing with each line: remember, you don't want your reader to stop at a word--people will not continue reading unless whipped, and some resist the whip.
