Listen to poem:
*Image of a Pahu by Wikipedia. Bell Of Another Kind Our bell, not metal, but an ornate-carved coconut tree trunk, hollow, and its head tied by a stretched dried sharkskin, called a Pahu. It makes girls swish, sway, as it strikes tourists' eyes. 2021 June 23 *HM* Ring My Bell ~~John Anderson: Judged 2021 July 07
