Bells Will Tell
One bell if the stars are out
Two bells and we'll call them back
Will they come--one never knows
One bell--sailors can come in
There will be dancing galore
Two bells keep your fingers crossed
No bells--lamplighter's asleep
Street-dancing canceled tonight

ReplyDeleteA great little poem!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it would be like to live in the times when the church bells signaled changes in the town? Your poem took me to another place.
ReplyDeleteInteresting take on the prompt - I like the ideas of the bells ~ Truedessa
ReplyDeleteMy husband is off to Dubrovnik in May and I told him about the two-bell church, - thanks Jim! A whimsical quadrille.

Lovely, Jim. An interesting take on the prompt, and it sounds like a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteBells will tell indeed! Very evocative
ReplyDeleteI call for three bells ~~~ surprise me!!
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping for one bell. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe bells! The bells! You made me imagine Quasimoto in the church tower, living vicariously from his lonely perch.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you connect the stars with how the bell tolls... made me think of the book title "for whom the bell tolls"... and the belief that your destiny can be read from the stars.
