Who thinks what to do when posting a poem on where to ask why it is often how difficult to understand?

Question

*****

THE ALARM COULD BE HEARD FROM

NEAR AND FROM FAR. HOW ANNOYING

I sound the horn…

That’s one of those

long brass conical shaped

twisty things with the valves.

You’ll recognize the sound.

I bang the gong…

You know it,

the one that looks like a

giant bronze dinner plate.

You’ll recognize the tone.

I ring the bell…

Right. That big one,

like up in the tower.

It has been quiet for some time now.

You may not remember why.

Answer 8

The archangel Gabriel sounded the horn

a monk in the temple banged the gong

Quasimoto, with his courageous heart,

rang the tower bell, but alas,

no one heard their alarms,

THAT is what's so annoying!

Answer 9

I like it :)

Answer 10

Qu'est-ce que tout ca veut dire?

Answer 11

Huh?  I find it difficult to understand what the question is.  Your question doesn't make any sense to me.

Answer 12

Yeppers, I know the sound of the horn well, the picture of it is perfectly formed in my mind.

The tone of the gong still reverberates in my ear upon occasion, though I do wish it would stop.  

I also know why the bell is no longer heard, near or far.

Amazing what a wee bit of verse can dredge from the memory vault.

Answer 13

whowhatwhenwherewhyhow questions...hahaha

good poem...and you're right, i don't remember why the bell is quiet...><

Answer 14

My brain has seized up.....whilst reading your question, I definitely heard a whirring noise, a glimmer of light appeared but then suddenly without warning my brain stopped.....now see what you've done.

Why are you sounding a horn, banging a gong and ringing a bell? Apart from trying to annoy people, that is?  

Answer 15

"You rang?"

Answer 16

Re-phrase for poor foreigners please.

I like the poem, though. Very sound and sonorous.

EDIT: Elaine, tu crois qu'il est devenu fou? Or is it the gong on the head?

Answer 17

I posted one in Martial Arts category.  Not a good idea.

Answer 18

Yeah, alarms are really annoying no matter what ring tone you choose. Especially when you are too sleepy to wake up. It's more often the persistence of the sound that's annoying.

Answer 19

Interesting question.

Gee you are interesting.

***By the way I understand your question dont worry!
