bells like clear vowels
water falls freely
in a thundering roar
framed by rainbow and mist
a carillon sounds
bells like clear vowels
The Rainbow Tower, on the Canadian side of the Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls, houses a carillon that sound three times a day.

~ the green tower to the right is an observation tower on the American side
This is my response to Twiglet #318: bells like clear vowels

Thank you. For most of my life, until 11 years ago, I lived within seven miles of there (in NY). There are photos of my parents holding me, swaddled, with the winter cataract behind us.
