Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Narcissus and Echo


Young Narcissus with beauty of

Such, young Echo met and did yearn,

And with him fell deeply in love.

But her love Narcissus did spurn,

Causing Echo to fade away.

Then Narcissus saw in a pool

His reflection, he had to stay

In love with himself as a fool.

After a while he turned into

A lovely flower, gold and white.

All a Greek myth but could be true

When loves turns wrong instead of right.


Perhaps when breezes are around,

Narcissus hears Echo's faint sound.
