Belfry Poems - Poems about Belfry


Ringing in the Bell Tower
Making bells ring and sing Within the beating soul Within the ringing heart Of the community Playing my hidden part Making bells ring and sing Handstroke and soon backstroke Feeling the church’s weight Feeling the weight of bells In a cycle of fate Making bells ring and sing Playing Plain Hunt Triples Casting away thunder Double Canterbury Filled with holy wonder Making bells ring and sing This heart is slowing down...

A flying house! I have never seen such a sight! This was said from the east, the north, the south and the right. It’s bats in the belfry! A Halloween expert said as he looked in the sky. I watched the house swoop almost to my head as it flew on by....

I asked a slug “tell me of beauty” He passed me a slimy smile And sped away. Who would trust a Ferret With the family jewels? Do they make tiny Peloton wheels My hamster is getting fat. Why is the Mantis praying And what is it praying for? Do fat house cats envy the mouse’s freedom? When a snail gets sick Does he become a shell of...

The bats in the belfry were taking a selfie Their costumes were super, for daddy was wealthy But children sized bats made the pastor unhealthy And yet his departure was still rather stealthy The fancy dress shop man has now got a shelf free He had three bat costumes but doubted he’d sell three ’til someone walked in and said, Sir...

Premium Member Goats In the Belfry Goats In the Hall
Goats in the belfy and goats in the hall Goats sniffing glue, and riding on the ball. Goats in my pajamas, goats outside in the rough. Goats everywhere but the barn, sure enough. It’s not that I minded the first day or two. Hey, who is that cute one with the twiddle dee doo? He just gave me a wink and...

Premium Member Bullfrogs In the Belfry Get It On
Bullfrogs in the belfry – get it on. Butterflies sipping tea – get it on. Bananas making bread – get it on. Bubbles beyond belief – get it on. Bare bottoms bumping blue birds – get it on. Got on it – hair follicles parading past ferris wheels. Got on it – hungry appetite hurrying onto subways. Got on it – helpful...

Bats In the Belfry
Like the hordes of bats which surround the belfry of our old clock tower wild images scurry around pressing my mind without referee. When the moon and stars appear, illuminating sea and sand, sights unseen which ears can hear - my incessant tongue may set free.   written July 2016 I promised myself - no quatrains this year so I broke the rules....
