Notes About The Poem

NOTE: 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.

Blue Bells


Bells
with blues
play bent cup dinged;
discordant, dongs and dings.
Soft and raspy tones that mumble,
rings rung as fuzzy rumbles and grumbles,
rather than clear resonate rings.
Sad Bells
Blue
