I'm glad you like it, Yvette. :) I thought a smile for the season was a good reason

Shelley,

This is a great poem. You leave it to the readers imagination as to what you are talking about. Pretty sure I know what it is. It flows nicely.

Well done

Cecilia

LOL!!

thank you for participating in the joybell event

this was a fun one - cute and humourous

the only thing i can suggest is maybe have the stanzas single spaced and only double-space between them? eh... just a thought lol

cool joybell - smooth flow - no spag or typos


thank you for sharing and happy new year!
shelley :)

"The dawn at night" could refer to a new romance dawning.

I'll let my imagination fill in the blanks on the second "bell".

That third bell is pretty straightforward:-)

Wasn't there a song in the 70s called "Ring my bell"?

My only suggestion is that your spacing is closer with each stanza; might be easier to see the bell shape.

Happy new year, Jose, and I hope someone rings your bell:-)

Thanks, Pam. :) The song was, "Come on and ring my bell" (I think) I thought a smile for the season was a good reason to bring up the bells. The best in everything you do this year.

Thanks, Kapot. :) It is exhausting though, but much relieved.

I'm guessing that there might be more metaphorical bells involved here, especially the third time which could be slower before breakfast! But I liked your fun use of the joybell shape form! A lovely way to ring in the New Year!
Happy and Healthy New Year to you and yours, Jose!
