Uses the new poetry form called THE BELL, which is an elongated version of a Cinquain. It has 9 lines and rigid syllable count of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 8, 2, 1, respectively. Usually presented with centre alignment <center> ....</center> The Ninette form (nine lines with syllables increasing and then decreasing) is very similar to the BELL form.

Bell rings, chimes hours, announces weddings, war ends, death knells. Bell shape hollow, inverted cup resonates, polls, rings, dings, dongs, pongs and pings to bring order to day's events. Bells rung, done
