The Cold Bell

There's the bell, children rush out, strawberry, chocolate, choose your pick, it's time to enjoy. Somewhere far, victims of war rest in peace. Bomb explodes, ice creams melt, smiles freeze. bells toll death. 06/16/2017

First strikes of the bell bring echoes of joy; sadly, they soon turn to pangs of misery and horror. You have expressed yourself clearly...wars bring pain, death and despair! ~ Regards // paul

How tragic to see young innocent life end in such a horrible way. Your poem a tribute to accompany the victims' souls to heaven. Superb dear sister, Jo!

Jo, what began so happy, ends so sad and the saddest part is, your poem expressive the truth. This was very creative and the emotions and message were deeply felt.
