Author's Notes: "An Echo Through Time," is a Rhymed Couplet I wrote as a highly allegorical write expressed with obvious poetic technique and symbolism to capture the notion of the quality of a poem's "staying power," whereby it virtually becomes "an echo through time," in and of itself. I also wrote this poem as a definite thought-piece to examine how many of us may deal with or consider certain famous poems from the past that can and do have an influence or even a contemporaneous relationship with present tense events and circumstances today. Sometimes, certain famous poems of this nature, may have a resonant quality that can impact poets today when they're thinking about possible themes they wish to undertake for a new poem that actually has possible related historical antecedents to some of these older poems. Something to think about for sure!! (Gary Bateman - November 27, 2015) (Rhymed Couplet)

An Echo Through Time
An echo through time follows all now in kind;
It’s the moment when poets find their rhyme!
Past-Present events give us a mirror to see from,
Of what Present Perfect events have now become.
Poets must write to truth what surely they mean;
With such wondrous verses the reader shall glean!
Writing with tone, tenor and syncopation is grand,
Giving poets that mellifluous effect desired by plan.
The echo quality of a great poem bespeaks its passion,
Whilst its literary panache shall always be in fashion!
An echo reflects a poem’s true resonance by intention;
Ensuring one’s mind shifts to an intellectual dimension.
Poets’ rendezvous with this echo through time is divine;
It helps us enshrine our thoughts now in continuous time!
