Best Bells Poems

The lightly touching tinkling bells,
Shimm'ring, babbling, laughing in the breeze,
The ever-merry tapping bells,
Who now has these?

Low, slow, iron bells;
Deep, still, lead bells.
Bells.  Bells.  Bells.

All gladly-sounding glowing golden-bells,
Lilting, lighter, brighter yellow bells,
Mightier-yellow even whiter bells!
Ivory-keyed I-concerto-bells!
Striding proudly in the breeze
I have these!

The bells of...

HEAR THOSE BELLS (Etheree and Tanka combined)

those bells
wedding bells
one plus one    two
it is a magic time
when promises are made
a lifetime commitment     two
at the time so easy to do
but  there will surely be many trials
two souls in a...

How rainbows covet lily bells
that chime the dulcet birth of May
with murmured notes in fay pastels.

How rainbows covet lily bells,
mellifluous in shaded dells, 
to mime in tranquil bloom manque.

How rainbows covet lily bells
that chime the dulcet birth of May.

It was the bronzed bell of a tinseled Ocean ship.
Until destiny was scuttled by a fiery water witch.  
In time, it became the haunting clang upon a reef.
A macabre Nic Nac for cliques that ruled the deep.

They returned like blue birds, lonely for a...

Canticle of merriment
rings out the silver of bells
a tingle, a jingle chiming
wispy notes across frosty mist,
as hands clasp with a pealed language
warbling the same holiday bliss:
‘let there be peace on this earth’
while ornamental dingers trill
on pines, and around fireplaces.

Seasons cannot duplicate
the joy of Yuletide’s awakening,
for...

Christmas shopping I will go
Red kettles at department stores
Sidewalks covered in snow
Bell-ringers spreading Christmas joy

Volunteers bring Christmas cheers
Give a dollar or two or more
For the needy the bells ring clear
Red kettles need to be filled

Goodwill is in the air
Giving donations is what it's about
For those...

Bells
I like them 
All very big or 
Small some are very old
Can find them in churches
And in emergencies some too
They just sound happy and sometimes 
Sad


Bells
Are very sweet
And sound very nice
Toll in good  bad times
I hear them  pealing in

Bells worn on ankles by the tribe's fireside
    Joyful dancing began when smoke signals rose high
A son was born to the chief and his bride
    Ring out wild bells to the wild sky

The young warrior’s time had soon come

Un-Ringing the Bells


To live in the shadow of the steeples
the tintinnabulation of Poe’s bells*
tormenting the sinners as they slumber
wrestling the darkened dreams of childhood hells

following the path that led asunder
“the road less traveled”**  challenging the norm
a vagabond in tattered memories
wandering through an endless self-made...

Bells

Shiny silver bells with glistening red bow
Are dangling from my entry gate
Though silently because they're faux.
But I imagine they ring and resonate

Their joyous sounds for all to hear
That give us pause to contemplate
At this busy bustling time of year
Just what it is we celebrate:

As Christians...

Old
Church bells
Back home knell time
And childhood memories. 
Deep slow tolls count out three o’clock,
Comforting presence as I lie sleepless,
Wondering: how many more times
I’ll sleep
Here
