Echo

Listen,
Listen,
There it is,
There it is,


There’s an echo,
There’s an echo,
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it?


Hello,
Hello,
La la la,
La la la,


There’s an echo,
There’s an echo,
Echo.
Echo.

I like this
I like this
what was that song by the Delphonics?
La La means I love you
yes that was it
yes that was it......
When we play tennis on Saturdays...we are at one end of the courts...and if we yell there is an echo all the way down on the other end.
eerie how that happens...
this poem is fun, but it also reminds me how we are reflections of ourselves...
and often echoes reflect our inner voice.

Yes, the simple wonder of child hood. You remind us well of those half forgotten days. Thank you, my friend.

Your poem brought back vivid memories of my brother and I as kids standing beneath the arches, hands cupped shouting echo, echo, echo. I also remember church bells on a Sunday morning by the river at Sonning. Their echo was carried on the flow. Your short poem will resonate with many who are interested in sound and how it carries. Really nice piece. Transports the reader to different times and different places. Have a great day Lathe. I also like the layout of your stanzas.

Loved shouting ... Hey .. .as a kid when going through a tunnel! Imagine if instead of an echo I heard back...Hey, you...! Great write my friend...made me smile...:-)

It’s funny what we remember from our childhoods, thank you Phill.

Sometimes, ambience is the reflection of an echo that we hear. Hope you get a beautiful one :) Interesting write!! Looking forward to reading your more works.

Thank you very much Mou, I’ve always felt that sound takes a back seat sometimes to the other senses such as smell and taste and yet there are so many beautiful sounds if we can just tune out the noise of this busy world.
