Notes About The Poem

The Bell form

Tintinnabula

Sounds,
sweet sounds,
smooth, pure pleasure,
ding, ding-they call to me,
tinkling tiny tenuous tongues.
Ring, ring they sing in angelic voices
enraptured chorus to heaven,
          cry of
                    bliss.

I used to sit in the shadow of the tower enjoying the beauty of the garden and listening to the sound of the bells. Thank you again for sharing your evening with me.

Paul Callus June 15, 2017 at 8:51 AM This is lovely and creative, James. The thrill derived from the ringing of bells. Well done on the use of the Bell form...even the striker adds to the effect by swaying sideways! Regards // paul James Inman June 15, 2017 at 8:59 AM Thank you Paul.
