Barry Stebbings Poet Triolet

The Echo

The Echo

     As we cried, “Hello, hello!”

     A sound from vast spaces came,

     An echo replied, “Hello …  Lo… lo…”

     As we cried, “Hello, hello!”

     Then we cried again and so

     The echo replied just the same.

     As we cried, “Hello, hello!”

     A sound from vast spaces came.

Lyric Man July 14, 2018 at 4:47 AM Life echos back the messages we send. If people really believed that their words would change.. we'd be positive and upbeat. Our words would be full of promise and hope! If only, people believed in the echo.... Barry Stebbings July 15, 2018 at 4:36 AM Interesting comment, LM. Perhaps it is about egotism; repeatedly hearing our own words returned. Thanks for the comment. // Barry
