Funerals are no fun. Like your poem because it expresses the pain and grief a person goes through. When the bells chime, it is the end of the funeral procession perhaps?

Another fine poem, Gypsy....sadly, a sound heard thousands of times in Turkey and Syria. Unbelievable scenes of complete devastation and misery, I can't even begin to understand

I know, it's so sad. I've watched some incredible accounts, a pregnant woman gave birth before she died and the baby was rescued alive. Other people were rescued after 5 days under the rubble.
Thank you very much for your time, kind review, and helpfull feedback.

I have heard funeral bells but never understood their significance. I don't think anybody ever explained it to me before, or maybe I didn't ask. Anway, thank you for sharing this with us.

Comment from Eleri
This is a very effective short poem. The lines are emotive and the poem reads well throughout. I just think that it should be 'sends' rather than 'send' at the beginning of the second line as 'bell' is singular not plural. Your use of Canterbury bells is a great idea too.

Gypsy, this is a beautiful haiku that you have written about the bells tolling at the last of a persons being. You do amazingly wonderful things by painting really good pictures and the process of writing the words. Patricia.

Modern Haiku impresses me for I applaud the ability to say so much in so few few words with wit, pizazz and clever satori.
Beautifully written and illustrated .
A pleasure to read.
Blessings

I like your haiku poem- good picture presentation- good word count and congratulation between lines- perhaps- flowers ease the grief- more accurate? Good job AP

No, flowers full of grief is a visual and zen concept for satori.

Most welcome
Comment from lancellot
This is very interesting. I like the form. The words by themselves pain a picture too many of us know and have experienced.
Then again, I guess weddings and funerals have both bells, flowers and tears. (maybe grief too)
Good work.
