More Poe-etic haiku...😂

"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? That’s 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!😂

Apologies to Poe...😂

Ringing of the bells

Some tragedy they fortell

In dolorous time....

Summon the unseen

As shadowy figures sway

To the graveyard’s beat

I’m picturing a hoard of the dead swaying to funeral bells as a new tenant is carried in. Love this🖤

A dim bronze tolling–

A warm, ringing carillon

Calling in the night

I love this! And I didn’t know the carillon so thanks for the vocab boost 🖤

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

Hells bells and pell mell

The wind bellows with a ring

Nightmare! Wake up, Spring!
