Free Verse: "Magic"

[EducatedOwl]

I must thank KatieJones just a little for this one. This was her challenge in the Five Senses thread:

Sight: round bales
sound: bat wings
taste: banana
touch: mosquito bite
scent: hay

I got the idea upon reading the challenge to write something about a man and a woman returning to a barn where they used to play as kids. A central theme of the poem was to be the way they used to imagine mundane farm objects as monsters, etc.

Someone else beat me to it, so I abandoned the challenge, but the idea for the story never went away. I spent last night building on the premise in free verse, and I'm really happy with the result.

Please tell me what you think, either in comments or here in the thread.

I really liked the images and how skillfully you wove them together. I actually almost wrote to those fives senses myself, but my mind kept boggling over the round bales lol. So hats off to you, Mr. Owl.

The round bales were what got me rolling. I figured their silhouettes might look like giants. You'll notice they're the one thing from Katie's list I kept.

Now the bananas, I had no idea what I was going to do with them.
