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.

When defeat looms loud and clear. Listen for bell to sneer your opponent with thwart and fraught, giving time to recover your resolve, with quick quench refresh awaiting restart bell
