Amazing free verse and so rich with color and emotion. I just loved the ending, Shunned by love, you remain Immortal as the hidden mirror of sound. So will this poem be- immortal.

I had no idea about the origin of where echo comes from. Now I do. And so beautifully done through a vivid poem that captured my heart. This is where poetry is so much better than prose. You distill this down to the essence. One of your best!

True poetic jewel on a topic that many would consider boring. Your words bring life to Hera and your metaphors make this a master art piece.

It is said that after Echo turned to stone, all that remained was her voice....But the goddess is truly alive in this verse. A great poem.
