Bells

BELLS

I.

Bells has a tingling ring to it,
a jingledy-jangle silver tone.
The tympanic waltz, close knit —
angelic chorus of Christ’s throne.

And Winter parades its magic —
the pure white snow purling gold.
Morgans’ shiver and shake chromatic.
Enchantment’s carol — behold!

O Christmas day — the pearly gates
stretched wide open in senssuround,
handbells harmonious, worldwide translate
singing, sweeping, melody crowned.

~

II.

*Poesome bells! They’re morose.
Tentacles dingle-dangle forth.
Curious onlooker of its strokes,
midnight binds its ears, looks North.

The lonesome brass calls for lad
and lass with clean cuts and braids.
The aww-no sound is clad
in a nonsenseless grade.

*Edgar Allen dawdles with death clang,
its clanger brain, hellish.
The beauty, from tower hangs —
the dauber of knells doth relish.

Rob Levasseur December 29, 2020 at 8:56 AM This is very nicely written and very close to the tone and feel of Poe, without the horror.

Caren Krutsinger December 25, 2020 at 12:33 PM This is better than Poe’s. Kim Rodrigues December 25, 2020 at 7:35 PM Still it is built on the house of Poe! God bless and thank you.

Victor Buhagiar December 20, 2020 at 11:18 PM Quite a contrast between the two stanzas. Both howver have their relevance. ~~ Kim Rodrigues December 21, 2020 at 3:17 AM I love Poe’s poem, “The Bells”

Gershon Wolf December 20, 2020 at 6:26 PM An absolute onomatopeiac delight, Kim. Superbly crafted. A FAVE for me. Thank you, and Season's Joy, Gershon Kim Rodrigues December 20, 2020 at 8:02 PM Thank you so much! Season’s joy to you too, my friend!
