The Echo

Absolutely beautiful! "Now let the echoes come." What a stirring call to keep singing, to keep giving voice to the light.

Thank you. That's my favorite line from the poem; but I hadn't thought of it in quite that way. I love your interpretation.

Just reading it again now. Gosh I love this one.

Oh my goodness. This is beautiful.

Thank you, MK!!

What a gift to your daughter! A poem is forever. I Love this one.

Thank you, Ann.

So beautiful!!!

Thank you!

Gorgeous. What an ending.

Thank you, Margaret.

Lovely! And happy birthday to your daughter!

Thank you. And thank you.

This is so beautiful, Melanie.

Thank you, LeeAnn.

When I saw the painting, I also immediately thought of B.!

Quite a few people have said that. It's a striking resemblance.

Just lovely.

Thank you, Weston.

I love reading and writing poems with this shortened, simple rhythm! So good!!

Thank you, Jenna. The original version was a little less regular. One of the things I did in revision was to tighten it up a bit here and there. Not a major change, but I'm delighted it worked.

It feels good to hear an echo when I shout, to see ripples when I toss a pebble into water, to be a part of a world that is responsive.

Part of a world that is responsive.... I like that. Thank you, Donal.

I got the idea from here: https://sashachapin.substack.com/p/what-the-humans-like-is-responsiveness

Ah, this is excellent craftsmanship! Wonderful poem.

Thank you, Mark. That means a lot coming from a craftsman like yourself.

Oh my this is lovely!

Thank you, Jody.

The poem is lovely, and evokes memories of early Fall days, still warm with summer but beginning to change. The melancholy mixed with love--caught my ear.

Thank you, Tony. Melancholy mixed with love-- that's lovely.
