A lovely reply, Lora's poems. I read them both on your advice, and found you and I, a lovely description of dark satire, embellished with witty use of paradoxical traits. I love this style of Echo poetry (I guess you yourself have coined this term...isn't it?) . Its indeed a lovely way to appreciate someone, and answer their beckoned call... A lovely style my friend! .
I think its a really good poem, to me it has a cynical view of love, usually the experience of it leads a greater bitterness then the fantasy of it. Although reading into it the expression of that love is multifold from the interpretation, is it Love for a person or a nation? You don't romanticise love the way some writers do, which is something I greatly admire. So much meaningful depth can be read again and again for different interpretation, DAMN the naysayers and their quickness to condemnation, an amazing write thank you for sharing
