Hear an echo from the past Hear an echo from the past Love has returned at last, at last Love has returned at last, at last Hear love at last, from the past An echo has returned…at last Here is a hug to reminisce Here is a hug to reminisce For old time's sake, I promise a kiss For old time's sake, I promise a kiss For a hug, old time's sake I kiss A promise here is to reminisce Give the gift of love today Give the gift of love today Smile gently, go our own way Smile gently, go our own way Go give the gift of smile today Love gently our own way An echo from today I hear For old times sake a kiss at last Love has returned promise is here Smile at last, gently at the past Go give our own gift of love The way to reminisce… a hug.

Any one who writes a paradelle deserves some kind of an award, especially one that makes sense in the end. This is lovely. All I can offer is a hug Liz |

Kethry, I'm utterly convinced there's absolutely nothing you can't do!!!  Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |

Kethry love, oh please no, they are so hard, really hard, I'd have to work, I mean it really work. And do you really want me too try? Please say no, look don't go giving me that look, you know me far too well. Oh damm damm damm! You know you'll get your own way don't you. I'll try but if it's truly awful don't blame me. Oh sausages sugar and shampoo! Take care love I'll be back (and when I return may the lord have mercy on you for I won't love, not a scrap!) love and stuff Slushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I've only done one of these and i don't know if i'll ever try another--it gave me a headache to write--but there a pleasure to read, and you did an excellent job with this. Capitally done. Poeminister |

Charisma, thanks, you should try one of these, but let me warn you you need lots of space in your head for the echo! Pepper, thanks, I'm not going to disillusion you, but if you'd seen some of the stuff that went into the round file it would soon disabuse you of that particular notion. Mark, glad you stopped by, yep this is a fun style to read and funnish to write. It was good for me because I'm easily confused and the repetition became rote and stayed in my head longer than it's usual thirty seconds. JM, I love it when you quote back at me,have you tried this style...it's interesting, Marsha, It's good for you to be stretched,(I didn't even need to use the rack) and you stretched high and snatched the golden ball. One hint you have to use all the words in lines one and three(even the repeats) Poeminister, thank you for stopping by and reading. Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.
