Best Bell Ringing Poems


Premium Member Train of Thought
Am I dreaming 
or have I dreamt myself awake
I can’t seem to discern 
between real and fake
What’s right 
What’s wrong
which direction 
should I take
Am I reasonably responsible 
for the many mistakes I might make

Backward bouncy walking
Crazy ticketed talking
Following the run
in a pretty girls stocking
Unafraid of...

“Winter’s Journey”  (Part 1b)


Your mother's Universe resounds inside you 
where you are every single sparkling star 
in every planet’s sky, the Galaxies are vast you see, 
in you she’ll never die.

You are all the pearls in all her deepest azure oceans, 
every minuscule grain...

temptation 
covert operatives

brush contact 99
coquettish Smart near misses 

flirtatious crispness
in the velvet time sliding

softly persuasive
dead dropping 

hungry ghosting gumshoes hubristic
dangling dripping words delicious

on tongue twisters
birdwatching the blowback

poiesis ripe
for swallows and ravens

chasing bell ringing
black buried au courant bluebirds out

better than late
Merry Christmas

lips for speaking
freshly plucked...

Love Is Stronger Than Hate
What is a power more strong than hate?
something that ignites and flames through the golden gates
something that fuels every prayer 
and gives an angel their wings
(more than just a bell ringing)

What power can carry us through thick and thin?
what power helps us know that, even...

Missing My School Days
Period-wise, we used to arrange the bag,
Every book was covered and have a name tag,
Waking up early in morning, get ready to go,
May homework not done, but never were low.
In assembly, that anthemn, and prayer.
That going in queque like a disciplined mare,
Noise in class was...

My spiritual umber a-rose
Full in bloom, as in an erupt!

Too… the frisk, of spring feeling fauna”
I viewed through that verdant screen
From my bough brushed tranquil dene
As all on the Easter time

The Acrobat
Workel walked a wiggly wire
Strung between two church spire,
A crowd had gathered underneath,
To see this stunt beyond belief.

Starting out with his balance pole
He suddenly heard the church-bell toll,
This very loud ringing noise
Made poor Workel lose his poise.

He lost his balance, down he come,
Flying past a...

Quote the Raven Nevermore
When the Parakeet increased his squawking
with the noise box ceaseless talking
far louder than the muted city roar.
Then I pondered that curious poem about the lost Lenore
About that bedeviled man and the raven Nevermore
How I envy Poe his quiet midnight
when he could hear a tapping however...

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Wendall walked a wiggly wire
Strung between two church spire,
Unfortunately for him he was undone
By an oblivious, bell-ringing nun,
Causing a result so very dire....

It is mid-week again,
and the incremental fines
imposed upon the clock
toll as a bell ringing down.

There is slippage in these transactions
that cannot be undone,
while yesterdays glories
are traded for tomorrow's guilt.

The markets tick along
accumulating matter and wealth.
The traders eat it up
then spew it from their faces.

Traffic is...

Swinging Blues - Chastushka Contest
I must stop this bell ringing
Take up with a choir, singing
Cos my sweaters are too tight
Boobs look like ferrets having fight.

Haiku - Four Seasons
Orange lilies sway

Swollen wood fence leaning drenched

First summers storm over

______________________________________________________

Cold autumn breeze blows

Bell ringing in the distance

Red leaves slow dancing

______________________________________________________

Tree branch barren home

Red oak acorns deep

Squirrels huddle for warmth

______________________________________________________

Ice soon melts new day

Gray chair with no color creaks

Sunshine breaths new life

Stan the atheist walked a wire
Strung between two church spire,
However a forceful bell-ringing nun
Brought the non-believer undone,
Saying, that'll fix the religious denier....

Reversing roll calls
the Anti-Hero 
jumps through 
burning hoops
instinctively

bathed in the magnum glow
designed to fire cartridges
with a kick like a field gun
a bloody victory 
is eventually won

lacking conventionality
novel and picaresque
placing bad apples and 
heads on walls for trophies 
with firm propensity

no...
