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!😂

Ding dang ding dang ding

Dong dong doong dinga dinga

Dum dong ding dang dong

I was soooo tempted to do this for mine. It’s very satisfying. 🖤

Apologies to Poe...😂

Ringing of the bells

Some tragedy they fortell

In dolorous time....

Very dark and foreboding, I love it🖤 I think Poe would approve.

High praise indeed! The Poe stamp of approval!😁

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🖤

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!

Honeygloom's avatar

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....

Honeygloom's avatar

It’s good! Wind or sleet, winter will deliver spring. I like it😊
