*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews*CakeP*


Good poem. It definitely paints some powerful images. It is particular strong with the sounds depicted playing to to the readers auditory sense with the titular bells, car horns and electronic music discussed. There are some great visual queues as well describing the world as a concrete jungle, traffic and clubs. It makes the reader feel like they are a traveling through a busy city when they are reading this. I like the "Somewhere in the world" refrain.

The ending of this poem seemed to be really sweet with the bells still reflecting in the narrator's heart. It seems to show the narrator still religious connection to them as the bells were linked with the church in the beginning. It is a nice symbolic element.

There may be one slight edit that I recommend. "Deafen by car horns" seems a little awkward. It feels like the tense is off you might want to edit the word to "Deafened". Other then that... great poetry.
