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.
