eight tolls of the bell
I wait in the pause
to hear six more
even her death knell
has kept Aunt Nell's age secret
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.
Jim found a way to make his girlfriends sing
he buys each one a giant diamond ring,
while he's not made of money
they all call him "Sweet honey"...
but his wife just calls him "My ding-a-ling."

For words

(Dreamsleep: July, 2024)
FOR THE MAIDEN AT THE IN,
OR THE BARMEN WITH A GIN?
FOR THE PANETTIERE IN THE BAKERY,
OR THE WORKER AT THE FACTORY?
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS?
FOR HIM OR FOR HER?
FOR THE WEANING CHILD OR HIS MOTHER?
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS?
FOR THEE,
CHIMES THREE.
I
hear now
in twilight hour
on the last wind afloat
far away sound, as the bell tolls,
ringing the luring voice of someone’s call,
I perceive within the soul say,
it’s for
me.

treatment commences
cancer eradicated
we remain hopeful
the bell’s rung three times
radiotherapy done
life begins again
live for the moment
we are never complacent
cancer may return
cherish your loved ones
embrace life, it’s all too short
cancer is a thief!
I stumbled across
A stumbling block
Five Stolpersteine
Where a family used to live
Surname Jaffe
Made me think about
Think about those
Those the bells didn’t toll for
Made me think
Think about them
Them the bells doesn’t toll for
Them the bells doesn’t ring for
For me
The alarm clock rings
Think about that
this is the third time
hubby’s rung the cancer bell
since twenty nineteen
we’ll never lose hope
his cancer can’t be beaten
and cherish each day
I now love to write
poems to invoke laughter
and to make folk smile
life is for living
humour makes a difference
use YOUR pen wisely
Bells
now toll
in sympathy
Innocent victims died
and many people were wounded
on the streets of London and Manchester.
Please can you remember them all
in your
prayers
*prayers counted as 1 syllable not 2 as per how many syllables

Darkness beyond reach
Disobedient teach
Wrath having no respect
Adjusting atmosphere elect
Bells and Tolls
Scorns in thorns
Fire in anger
Life’s short moments
Whom in doom
Happenings centered at noon
Tolls for you
Didn’t pursue
Earth craters separate
A world full of hate
Human Create
Doom on the hour
Time expired
Devastation for all
As I grow old and frail
feeble I am becoming
my body bones brittle
skin now hangs in folds
legs like sticks all bandy
I sense death he's closing in
soon he will wait no more
the stench tells it all
death my old friend
waiting in the wings
your grinning face
haunts my dreams
silently you wait
knowing I am yours
when the bell tolls
you will be the victor
and I? to dust return
Its not an option,
You no longer have a choice.
The Bell Tolls
The sound of the door,
Begins to open.
It preys at your heavy heart,
The family slowly proceed,
Toward the front of the altar.
Cries and tears,
Saturate the thick air.
The ministers voice,
Cuts open,
The secret of silence.
The Bell Tolls
The casket lowers,
Tears dry,
Roses are frozen,
In dead space.
The Bell Tolls
With my hands I rip off my horns
I wish to be a cambion no more
I fought the demons, dragons and behomeths
and to my favor is the score
So through the towns of hell I walk
only to find a little old mansion
I enter and there behold
is a pyramid, sphere and cube to my passion
For whom the bell tolls,
it tolls for thee...
and whether heaven and hell exists
it's for each to do or not believe
Never my
friend
Not even
a foe
Death like
a wind
That blows
through my soul
Always it
hovers
Forever
on hold
Waiting in
silence
The bell’s
— final toll
**
Rising Inherent
Your fight’s
not with me
Your fight’s
with the truth
That stands
in defiance
To what you
might choose
It knows
of no allies
But enemies
plain
And rises
inherent
Itself
— to proclaim
**
As the world community
Asks Israel to stand down.
Hamas murders with impunity
Then flees underground.
Isreal lives under scrutiny
And still held to account.
While terrorists have freedom
To pass their AKs around.
Free countries need unity
Not gloomy storm clouds.
When we stand together
Evil cowers in a shroud.
Thus, let us speak fluently
Yet justly so out loud
For murder there's no Immunity
And God tolls the count.
Misty eyed and weary over the gallows I blow
daunting a mere string in tow
last school bells rung
but the hallowed halls still call
Scuff marks mark my sentence
tough times as seconds slowly ticked by
pure white first day memories
when fresh minds mattered
puddles and mud stained canvas
darkness haunts to this very day
running ladders
locked away weekends didn't matter
Used and abused
a fresh life awaits
up high I fly
Keep me warm on this long cold night,
I feel my road ends tonight.
Somewhere in the distance I hear a bell toll,
he comes now for my soul.
My life has been full of fear and hate,
I wonder why this was my fate.
Only one regret that I can say,
I will have to leave my love this day.
You have given me joy and happiness too,
my heart is full because of you.
Once again I hear the bell toll,
good bye my love, my heart , my soul.

Made me think

Made me think about

A deadly sin
Made me think about
Numbers too big to
