Echoes of Grace
The prompt at dVerse Poets Pub Meeting the Bar yesterday was to write Echo Verse. Most of the examples of the traditional form included the word “echo” before the echoing second line of each stanza, but an option without the word “echo” was offered and I like it better. So here’s my offering for the day.
Echoes of Grace
I desire to pen words that are right
Write
But that won’t lead to my disgrace
Grace
I don’t want to write of You what is untrue
True
I long to feel Your loving embrace
Race
Running, praying, ’til I get to You
You
Learning how to offer Your sweet grace
Grace

~ Beautiful and soulful, Linda.
I like how echo seems to offer strength to the poet as he/she ponders on testimony and life.
as an echo verse this poem is perfect…echo seems to be a guiding force from within…lovely…
Thank you.
Yes.. Force Lives within
Win
Never Force ruled by men
Sin
God JUST BE
FREE..:)
I really like the meditation here, Linda. There is so much we can learn from finding out / using what is true!
This is lovely! The echoes seem to answer back to the verses.. like a dialogue. Excellent write 😀
Lots of love,
Sanaa
Thanks. I’ve had a conversation with God that is echoes of grace running through my head all week. I guess that’s why it ended up sounding like a dialogue, though unintentionally. Peace, Linda
