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.

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
