Echo Poems - Poems about Echo

I watch colors distort into dots tiptoeing on the white wall Black target expands—engulfs— flitting between rear and front sight Blood drums in my ears—tides I ride with breath held shallow It hums, the shadow— taunts with broken birdsongs It knows, all it takes is a skipped heartbeat for a sniper to fall Countdown. Lens focusing into center breaths narrow into blade, inhale— The world refined to a...

Your call resonates like a lost echo among the shadows of dusk, Deep within me, like spring water flowing towards distant lands. My heart, boundless and mysterious, responds silently, naive and gentle, As the sleepless twilight creeps again through the misted windows.

The lame duck state governor was speaking on campus An acquaintance shared...

AN ECHO OF YOU Your whisper is somewhere in my mind It’s as if you were still here, close to me Your subtle scent lingers on this pillow It takes me back to us both in Amarillo But since you’ve gone, it just cannot be Yet it’s a memory that I’ll seek and find An image I see, offering a familiar view Someone...

In the ebonic afterglow, I hope for your return… —by poet Echo a Desperate Plea Anxious calling across a mountain ravine. Breathless in frigid heights, plummeting d Callousness of the deaf-defying beast. e Desperate to penetrate distance; pinpoint. g Echo of eeriness returns to me thrice. ...

"In the echo of silence, the whispers of the Divine are heard." By Rumi I entered the winding path into the captivating vale Surrounded by ice-capped mountains and ancient trees Firs, larches, redwoods, spruce, and ash, all grand I shouted in glee: “I’m here!” All around some Echo replied. A repetitive Echo, always vibrating and mesmerising. What a singular sound...
