Appealing Campanologist

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

Daver Austin Date: 8/4/2015 3:09:00 PM "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 Login to Reply Harry Horsman Date: 8/4/2015 4:44:00 PM Thanks daver, pity it did not set the tone for Debbie, she kicked it out of her contest into touch....
