The Bell form

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. 06/08/2017

There is a carillon in a garden near where I live. 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.

Everything about your bells is dynamic...the message, the form, and the alliteration. Congratulations, James.

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
