“bells like clear vowels”

Written for:  The Twiglets #318 - bells like clear vowels


An ambitious 'A'
chimes from church
declaring noon.


Thick crystal glass pings an 'O'
full and vibrant as the wine
it holds.


calls for dinner
cowbell rings from front door
summons workers from fields


        The cat wore a bell 'round his neck
        to keep comings and goings in check.
            Outdoors it jingled
            deer came to mingle,
         so began an animal farm complex.

I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
