NaPoWriMo Poetic Form Challenge 19/30: Take-a-Line Tuesday

At Today’s Little Ditty, the DMC is to write an echo poem  Marilyn Singer has a new book, Echo, Echo featuring her Reverso poems.  I haven’t written one for six years.  You can find them HERE.

Since it’s “Take-A-Line” Tuesday, I borrow this from Marilyn Singer’s poem, “Narcissus and Echo”, “Leave me, foolish pursuer.”

Here’s my attempt:

In the mountains
I lift my head and yell
to the sky,
Leave me,
Foolish pursuer.
I listen for the echo.

I listen for the echo.
Foolish pursuer,
Leave me
to the sky.
I lift my head and yell
in the mountains.
