Our Echo Tales
If they draw too close, I will call your name
Echo—lame
An unenviable feat despite a large crowd
Echo—proud
A brotherhood against fighting for love
Echo—shove
Because everyone seeds the same fruit
Echo—root
Each lifespan is an echo of the one before
Echo—door
They used what they learned to find a better
Echo—letter.
As it's our time to be silent, we may pray
Echo—astray.
The truth our voice carries will last forever
Echo—clever
Lengthy lyrics imply that life is a dance
ECHO—trance
Randomness is just one heartbeat away
Echo—pray.
Aerodynamically, we float alike butterflies
Echo—skies
breath along with your silent words
Echo—swords

ECHO VERSE The formula for echo verse is rather straightforward: Repeat the last syllable (or syllables) of each line. Sincere gratitude is extended to Brian Strand, who pioneered the use of this format.
