Victory Bells

Journey exhausting, just a handful survive Last night’s hellish storm by evil contrived Mothers, children fully dressed on stand by Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! Hellish storm rolled further out to sea Captain up the starboard came to see Surveyed horizon then gave loud cry Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! Women, children ordered to board first Ship mates, two to escort, dying of thirst Battered row boats leaking seemed to nose dive Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! Hit soft white sands at dawn despite fears Silver hair Parson led the Thanksgiving prayer Discovered fresh stream from boulders up high Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! Note: Entry for "Ring Out Wild Bells To The Wild Sky" Contest Sponsor: Dr. Ram Metha

This is very original, Audrey, and I love the story you wove into the kyrielle form. I could see the captain and the passengers on the sea during the storm. Vivid imagery! Best wishes for success in the contest, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
