The Last Bell Poem by Kyle Schlicher

The Last Bell



the last bell
for sonny
was
the
6th
one.

the upstart
challenger
had his way
and
the end
of
the
brutal
hard
road
was at last
in sight.

no one now
sings to him
the
praises
of
victory.

the night creeping,
crept
into
the idle darkness
of his
lonely corner
with
the ringing
of the sixth
and
the
last
bell.
