I like Charles and Charles like this--but I see too many past tense words in it. It is hard to remain ringing to the joy of others before the ringing becomes a warning of one kind or another.
what i really want to know Sarah is where did you get the word tintinnabulation?
Charles/Ann, I so appreciate your stopping by! This one came pretty easy for a change.
Mark, it comes from Poe! He wrote a poem about bells that's a lot more sinister than mine and coined the word out of thin air.
I suppose I intended mine to be an elegy for youth more than anything. Of not knowing then how long the clangs will reverberate or how much we will regret the muffling of age.
Beautiful with a nice rhythm and nice imagery...I like the part that said "the women wore laughter and the men ere clappers" It makes me think of weddings where everyone is supportive and happy to participate.

"Because bells
are contagious
and so were we"
^THAT feeling is what I've been searching for...
P.S. I agree with everything IBU RISKA said. Like totally! :P
Raj, thank you. I'm sorry I missed your comment before.
Aniket, this is actually a favorite of mine. I did what I set out to do here. 1/10, I can say that, maybe.
