Short Carillon Poems

Bells ring so sweetly
Ode to the carillon voice
Key to the singing tower...

Bumble bees and roses,
Sounded carillon,
Clouds traversed my morning
    As the curtains rose,
Juggled pieces like a jigsaw
    puzzled
Toward their tapestry....

Pell
a bell
in a seashell
and the echoes will dwell
resonating to dings that swell
to crescendo, a carillon of bells
that befells the hearer to quell,
and knell
bell

Prismatic beams
flashing bright
red and orange
blue and green
Crystal wings
so quickly move
as butterflies
to flowers go
	
blossoms of
rubies carved
sapphires too
glow in the light

emeralds shaped
pulse with life
from mother Earth
into the light

chimes ring out
their carillon calls
songs of nature
sung by the birds...

RAIN-DRENCHED HAIR 


As the melting clouds descend on you,

and its luster flows on strands of ebony,

why rave rapture drenches, you’ve no clue.

As the melting clouds descend on you

the setting sun's beam spreads surreal  hue,

pristine pearls cascade as carillon of symphony

as the melting clouds descend on you,

and its luster flows on strands of ebony.

My bells, are shared with you,
At the ringing  in of the taut day
And the ringing out of the mayfly

The bells, brazen, lucid, warm,
Silence the chatter of the clouds,
Bring solace to a weary ear

And the peeling bellow of the rim,
The clatter of the clapper, urged on by 
Yolk, the busy carillon two octaves tall

Falls quiet the nightfall comes, tied the 
Ringers’ rope on wooden stop; cadence,
Hum, now spins the air in hollow cup
