Appealing Campanologist

For whom the bell tolls
this vibrato of iron
an ancient message
steeped in holy tradition
hostilities at an end.

Thank you, Harry. You reminded me of the school house bell that was scheduled to ring if we had an air raid! Rural Ohio. Elizabeth

Your poem is lovely and astute, Harry. Bells are the best way to inform the entire area. So much nicer than TV. Congrats!

"This vibrato of iron," sets the tone ringing for me. Love it. I wrote one called The Sunken Cathedral you might like. It's a way back somewhere. Thanks for reading me, Harry. Love, daver
