December 2 - Bells
More Poe-etic haiku...π
"Keeping time, time, time
In a sort of Runic rhyme"
Wrote Poe in the Bells.
How long did it take to find the perfect syllable fit? Thatβs pretty cool.
i was reading the poem out loud to my kid and i realized the quoted parts were 5 and 7 syllables! After that the last line took about a minute!π
Ding dang ding dang ding
Dong dong doong dinga dinga
Dum dong ding dang dong
I was soooo tempted to do this for mine. Itβs very satisfying. π€
Apologies to Poe...π
Ringing of the bells
Some tragedy they fortell
In dolorous time....
Very dark and foreboding, I love itπ€ I think Poe would approve.
High praise indeed! The Poe stamp of approval!π
Summon the unseen
As shadowy figures sway
To the graveyardβs beat
Iβm picturing a hoard of the dead swaying to funeral bells as a new tenant is carried in. Love thisπ€
A dim bronze tollingβ
A warm, ringing carillon
Calling in the night
I love this! And I didnβt know the carillon so thanks for the vocab boost π€
You're welcome! I grew up next to carillons so I'm used to hearing them all the time.
The bells laid you down:
Iron sent you where you lie
Underneath the earth
This has a very eldritch feel to it for me , I really like it.
Hells bells and pell mell
The wind bellows with a ring
Nightmare! Wake up, Spring!
That is great representation of the birth of spring. Well done!
Thanks as always for the kind words...
Yeah, I edited it. I had sleet instead of wind. I don't know.... I just type....
Itβs good! Wind or sleet, winter will deliver spring. I like itπ
