For today’s prompt, write an echo poem. This could be a poem with a refrain, or a poem that echoes another poem (or poems) written earlier in the month. A remix poem, if you will. Or it could be about the process of echoes, echo location, or any other spin you can think to put on it

THE STORM 
by John Yeo 
 
Clouds speedily gather as darkness descends
The storm takes hold with a vicious vengeance.
A deafening clap  of thunder loudly resounds 
Echoes and re-echoes with explosive force
Lightning slashes in a jagged flash of fiery fury.

Trees bend and sway as the wind rages relentlessly 
Stripping off  leaves and tearing the branches away.
The pouring rain sweeps and swirls ceaselessly 
Severely soaking the storm battered tiny valley.
Repeated lightning bolts light up the night

Thunderclaps crash and boom  repeatedly
Echoing and re-echoing, endlessly rebounding
From the craggy slopes of the rocky mountain.
As streams rapidly turn into rain-filled rivers.
Lightning strikes with an illuminating power.

The wind suddenly drops and the rain gently eases 
As the storm slowly passes over the mountains.
A distant booming thunderclap rumbles around
Echoing and re-echoing  with a muffled sound.
As the passion of the storm is over and spent.

LIFE 
by John Yeo 

A neurone has fired in an amazing display
Brain-powered ecstasy in an orgasmic release
Powerful minute forces have delivered
An awesome force of pleasurable power
As an ejaculation is repeated and echoes again
And again, and again, and again.
Re-echoing as seeds of a new life begin.
