Author's Notes: This new Imagism poem on "The Magical Epiphany of an Old Rusted Can," for me, turned out to be a very unique and transformational type of write. I did spend some quality time really thinking about the physical description of this Old Rusted Can, and how I wanted to portray it in an ethereal sense as a magical object of sorts. The key takeaway in this particular theme is predicated upon the kaleidoscopic light-show and the effect it (i.e., the Old Rusted Can) produces as its unique series of holes or apertures are bathed throughout in the bright morning sunlight. The notion is that this brief magical light-show actually creates the image of an aura of enchantment by which the protagonist in the poem begins to feel the true divine presence of Almighty God Himself. Enjoy this magical epiphany!! (Gary Bateman - August 21, 2018) (Imagism)
