Whom the Bell Calls ~~~~~~~~~~~ The bells announced the wedding in the church across the park Their echo flinched a nerve and made my daily bottle drop ~ With tears that stung my eyes as my clouded memory stirred My thoughts raised from the broken glass and centered on the church ~ The parson rhymed the ceremony two souls for God to nexus You could have heard a pin drop when I staggered through the entrance ~ The parson asked the witnesses the relatives and all Are any here opposed today ? Again silence filled the hall ~ The eyes of every tortured soul as I stood and cleared my throat Attacked this bent and haggard fool with hopes to push me out ~ The only friendly soul that day stood out above the crowd The parson smiled and asked of me then my rasping voice was loud ~ My apology to all this day good luck to Bride and Groom My bottle broke across the park I just came to borrow a broom }<{{{{o> Jan 99 Rex |

Rex- Took me a couple of reads to grasp it. Definitely different. Creative individuality places a unique signature on this piece. Interesting, indeed. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
