March the first month of reviving spring.
Purple and pink naked ladies,
Yellow daffodils nudge their
Way up with bell shape blooms.
Beaming and hopeful,
Looking their best,
Sweet-smelling
Nectar
Flow.

Bell
rings, chimes
hours, announces
weddings, war ends, death knells.
Bell shape hollow, inverted cup
resonates, polls, rings, dings, dongs, pongs and pings
to bring order to day's events.
Bells rung,
done
~Autumn Leaves Dance~
(The Bell)
The
Leaves are pretty
Gold reds greens browns
Swirling 'round in the wind
They are dancing and looking
Beautiful and happy right now
Just love watch them all the
Time
As
They really dance
Playing hide and seek
They go 'round every tree
Leaves are laughing and teasing
Passerbys as they float and
Rapidly descend from the air to
Ground.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls
Said little fairy bell sitting in the meadow
Among the Prim Roses reflecting, the sun’s glow
The Cow Slips in the rain
The Lady Smock trips on her train
Ask not for whom the bell tolls
The Snap Dragon bites, the Willow Weeps
The Baby’s tear’s, it often weeps
So ask not for whom the bell tolls
The fox has new gloves
The mother in law a tongue, the lily is for peace,
So ask not for whom the bell tolls
The Blue bell, Cow bell the Canterbury bell
The White bell Pink and Oconee bell
Please ask not for whom the bell tolls
The Bell flower the Chilean bell
The Chinese bell and all
So when asked for whom the bells tolls
I say it tolls on all bells in the fall.
