The night we walked beneath the stars;
Echo: Ours
Knew not how passed those blissful hours.
Echo: Showers
The stars they shimmered unto the sea;
Echo: See
We trembled as winds caressed our cheeks.
Echo: Speak
If stars for certain govern our fate;
Echo: Faith
Plot to offer – allot your face
Echo: Chase
Upon these stars I wished tonight;
Echo: Might
Till sleep eternal within your sight.
Echo: Cite
As time neared forth towards midnight;
Echo: Right
Exchanged twin looks of sheer delight.
Echo: Quite
The stars above aligned to commemorate your birth;
Echo: Mirth
Depths of shimmering sea strive to match your worth.
Echo: Dearth

This lends itself so well to the echo format and your work with rhyme is so well done, too. I’m not sure there are too many things that equal a walk beneath the stars for a romantic relationship.

What a wonderful echo poem! The rhyme has a good touch to it and I like the thought of talking to the stars while walking by the ocean. I often talk to them in the forest. I wonder if they sound the same when they answer back?

Just yesterday I read an article about these glowing organisms in waters in only a few places on the earth. I think your photo shows these. I loved your poem, Sanaa, and how the stars are reflected in your romantic offering.

This is beautiful! I love the echo words you chose and the subtle message of faith in something greater than the stars themselves. And the picture is stunning and goes so well with the poem. Peace, Linda
