THE CHILDREN OF THE BELLS

THE CHURCH CLOCK
STRIKES MIDNIGHT 
AND THE RAVEN 
SIT ON EDGAR ALLAN POES GRAVE 
AND CROW FLYS BY  AND CROWS 
AT THE MIDNIGHT MOON 
AND CHILDREN RING
THE BELLS TO WAKE UP 
THE POOR SOULS OF 
THE DEAD THEY ARE 
THE CHILDREN OF THE BELLS
THE  MOON IS FULL 
THE SKY IS CLEAR
AND THE CHILDREN 
RING THE BELLS AND 
SING THE SONGS OF
THE DEAD THEY ARE
THE CHILDREN OF THE BELLS
THE RAVEN FLYS AWAY 
AND THE CROW SIT ON THE 
GRAVE AND CROWS IN THE 
MIIDNIGHT MOON AND THE
CHILDREN WALK THE GRAVES 
AND SING THERE SONGS FOR DEAD
THE POOR SOULS WALK 
IN THE NIGHT AND THE 
CHILDREN RING THE BELLS
THEY ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE BELLS

Well, it is lovely as it is or, if you really want to put something else in, you can always edit it to add anything new or change anything. Whatever you want to do, Greg, it is your poem x

Apologies Greg, almost missed this one but glad I now caught.
And so do love reading a dark one and one that leaps off the page for it is equally chilling , other worldly and unsettling.
In the ways a dark poem should be presented and your well written and conceived poem and it's haunting theme throughout is one that superbly draws a reader in and doesn't let go.
Thanks Greg and full honours to you for writing something different and this just shows how versatile a poet you are.

Greg if old Mario Lanza is haunting this poem then he's probably out body snatching.
Maybe your Ave Maria poem.
