The Cemetery Bell Rang
“Death can never separate us. Each time you feel a gentle breeze, It's my hand caressing your face.” By Mary Lucas
The first bell intoned its dreary dirge.
The feel of emptiness spread all around.
I was not afraid. I felt tall and steady.
Night began to obscure the light of day.
I began my lonely trek around

Rescuing Phone Rang
The Leader of the gang
Fought his door with a bang,
From the all –metal forcing out a clang
That his impatience duly sang,
Now smiling and choosing to hang,
Every tooth of his a ready fang…
Then, Dave’s rescuing phone rang
To great risk exposing the gang!
Pitted against a metallic door,
Whose forcible opening isn’t sure
Save with dynamites not in noise poor
Or

When the Bells of Death Have Rang 2
When the bells of death have rang,
Do this on my will:
Do not force my wife to wear black clothes,
And do not do anything on her looks.
I left her beautiful, and I want her to stay beautiful.
You can tear my clothes or burn them.
Or roll them in mud or give them to the poor...
Because I

As the Church Bells Rang
Then she had it all now she walks alone having since traded all treasured vows
Stumbling badly on things gone wrong ailing in grievance, " indelible thoughts"
Faded yesteryears filled with banished woes appearing like ruthless shadows
Thus was her fate they laughed when she demanded equity of fair tradeoff
She hears a scream inside her savage graveyard
"Here’s

Ring Rang Rung Wrong
I met UFC and she courted me.
She made me wanna hit!
But I stood back from the ring,
Not battered, but better I became.
It's no life worth livin' to get
your bell rang.
Or worse, to punch a good man
to his death,
Just to get the gawkers to
sing your song!
And move up the rung
to where you think you

Wedding Bells Rang
Wedding bells rang this
Early evening:
We tossed seed
Into air hued
Lilac by shadow,
Laughing with joy though
Papa, he brooded,
And Mama’s red cheeks
Ran freshets of
Tears, brine for the
Years she pampered and
Loved, cared for her girl,
In hard times and good,
Knowing one day
Eros would call,
Tempting our sis, whose
Husband’s a fine guy who
Earned our acceptance and
Really deserved all our
Expressions of cheer and
Shouts

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.
