Doorbell Poems - Poems about Doorbell

The doorbell rings less

The doorbell rings less
As dust assembles
On once polished seats
The old coffee pot
Misses a few beats
As cups gather hopefully
Voices linger
Held by the silence
Seeking a response
The phone chimes
A face time visitor
Fulfilling a duty
Soon they will share
Unvalidated memories
Speak of love
Their words will be lost
In the silence

The Tune Before the Doorbell Rings

Never say never until the doorbell rings 
Hold on real tight to what your heartbeat brings
Tip toe high and do those tantalising things
Feeling the deep rhythm of God moving your strings
Do not listen to when a Mockingbird sings
You be the tuneful upbeat bold bird that sings

The Bath

I finally took a bath
   this morning
After all day yesterday
   Sunday
With the taste of you
   still on my mouth,
The scent of you in all
   the rooms 
   and on my couch.
Ache inside my belly.

I dialled; you said
   "Hello," and I hung up,

46 Per Cent of Japan's Population Hide When Someone Rings the Doorbell

i guess it depends on the resonance the amplification
when i sang in the bedroom my father shrieked
put a sock in it and i remember reaching for
the pants drawer to find a pair, but i once did
turn away carol singers, but only after they'd
finished their warbling did i thank them and
slam it in their faces, i

Needing No Doorbell

i heard from
others the
other day
that they
did stop
by but
didn't
stay
be

cause of the sign
in my mind's win
dow though it
seemed open
was actually
closed
but it
might
have

read 
abandon
all hope ye
who enter here

so hopefully no
more jehovah 
witnesses or
door to door
salesmen
or nosy
neigh
bors
for

even my
welcome 
mat expresses
the need not be
perceptive except
if you are dyslexic then
forgiven for it reads: Welcome
Matt. Everyone Else Go Away

and
i don't
know any
one named
Matt

As the Doorbell Rings

M-orning dew wets the grass,
A-ugust seventh after the night; 
E-very droplet freshens the meadow, to enhance the beautiful sight.

E-vergreen oak produces acorns, 
D-elighting your eyes and heart; 
N-ew flowers blossom into elegance,
A-side from fragrance they part.
L-et this day be a holiday,
A-ccording to the joy it brings; 
G-reetings coming from within
A-rrive at you as the doorbell

Night Alone, Doorbell Rang

invigorating morning air
		two-mile walk, local news, coffee, toast

	     enroute to work at daycare, checked on Dad
		         another rewarding day
		      then night, at home alone

		She's forty-eight; her kids are grown.
		   Her husband left three years ago.

The Doorbell Rang

THE DOORBELL RANG – Etheree

Ring!
Bother!
Ring again
An alien!
Oh, what a surprise!
He’s not what you’d expect
He’s not green    with a small head
No    he looks very much like us
“Hey! Your parrot pooped in my rocket ship!”
He says    “Fly Me to the Moon,” sings Polly

Every Time the Doorbell Rings

Cruelty and indifference
gallops away with the winter's 
chill
tight-lipped determination and 
venomous fragrance
jostles excitedly to escape
affection and scorn rips me 
apart
i want to feign sleep or death
i want to rise up
look my best
bring back the charm
of lost love-tickled days
shriveled by cold
looking harmless or arrogant
in intoxicating promises
he's always true to fickleness
i rise and fall
 every time i

Doorbell

The chimes startled Steve 
Dropping the dumbbells
He rushed to his door
The uniform disturbed him
So much more than the bells 
Ever could
He is a man
He will not cry
He will not faint
The officer hands him the envelope with condolences
How will he tell her son?
John Dunne
Said it all
The bell tolls
For thee

Jesus Ring My Doorbell

Jesus ring my doorbell
save me from suicide
Save me from Hell

Enter my home
Let me feel your presence
Let it be known

Bless my family and my home
Please bless our children as 
they grow

I'm not asking of you for fortune 
or fame
I'm just asking you to forgive my sins 
so I no longer feel guilt or shame

Please come in
