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.

Pell a bell in a seashell and the echoes will dwell resonating to dings that swell to crescendo, a carillon of bells that befells the hearer to quell, and knell bell -------------- 5 June 2017
