How could I forget to comment on this poem I bookcased? Luckily I did not forget His invitation sent by the reverberating bells last Sunday. Perfect poem as ever, Brooke. Just to let you know I did read this...

Belinda, thank you for going back to review this after it is no longer promoted :-) Brooke

Of course. Your poems, light or deep, happy or sad, calm or furious (?), always give me something to learn...

Comment from Annmuma
Just reading the title made me fall into that old song "goin' to the chapel and I'm gonna get married".
I had to take a moment to get my head on straight so I could get the most from you poem. Well written and pleasant feeling. ann

Wonderful poem. And a perfect picture to match. This looks so nice put together like you have done. A sweet sentiment and truism. I like the choice of words in this rictameter. Great job and thanks for sharing.

The church bells are one of the only things I like about cities. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and our church was in the high school gym.
This is another brilliant rictameter. Nice job!

Thanks, Ashley. I love country churches - little chapels of wood or stone :-) Brooke
Comment from Nicnac
This is another one of those times when I KNOW I reviewed this already. LOL Hmm... ;)
I love the sounds of the b's and c's in this lovely rictameter, Brooke.
I've always loved the sound of church bells. In a town I used to live in, a bell at the courthouse would ring on the hour - so neat. :)
Lovely poetry and really nice imagery.

A perfect outline gives this rictameter a poetic appearance. Your meter and rhyming give the poem a poetic sound. Very well done.

Comment from Joan E.
You are on a roll with your rictameters--couldn't resist! I thought your use of reverberate was brilliant, for it gives the sound of the bells in itself. I adored your use of alliteration for the similar effect and enjoyed your rhymes. The picture capped off the poem quite well.

You ring the bell to claim our attention and then gently nudge us in...What a marvelous reminder of God's house and the gifts we find within. Well done.

Comment from Just2Write
I think this is one of your best rictameters in a series of excellent ones. I don't know, Brooke - I find it so hard to keep finding new and innovative ways to say your poetry is great, but I have no choice. Can't you write something crappy so that I can change my approach? Rose.
