Your 100 Word Challenge this week is to write 100 words – no more, no less – based on the prompt: echo…echo…
We have started learning one of my FAVOURITE songs for the Royal Albert Hall – Echo from Purcell’s The Fairy-Queen. We really loved the repeating, echoed line!
How will you interpret this week’s prompt?
Miss T
Echo, echo, echo
The sound that bounces of walls
That has been through everything
Ice Age
Stone Age
Everything
Echo,echo,echo
You let bats see
You have seen amazing people
William Shakespeare
King Henry VIII
Everyone
Echo,echo,echo
You glide through trees
You have heard amazing things
The cry of soldiers going into war
Mozart himself
Everything
Echo, echo,echo
You never let us down
You always echo, echo, echo
You are always heard
You are never silenced
We have never seen you
But we know you are there
We have never touched you
But who cares
Echo
There was a ping that echoed away. Giving away their location to the British destroyer. The U-boat crew heard the hum of engines. They had been found. They heard the splash then after a long wait, they heard the colossal explosion of depth charges. Water poured into the boat as the crew fought it off. The engines got further away. They were safe. Their motors turned on and they were moving. But not for long. They dove deep and shut down the engines in hope of survival. Then they heard it. The echo of sonar bouncing off the steel hull.
Echo Echo
There is no sound apart from the echo that seems to call me at times.
War is far away but death is close.
I see it in my dreams I see it in the darkness.
A silence that engulfs all. I am not afraid of what will come.
The pain will go once I die and peace shall welcome me after this endless torment.
I have company, my echo guides me through the pain.
My echo is calling.
My echo lured me through all the pain that this life brought me.
The pain has gone.
Thank you echo.
It whispers through the trees
It whispers through the ground
This never ending sound
Echo echo
It winds through passages
It swerves through tunnels
This never ending sound
Echo echo
It bounces off walls
It’s friends with any tile ground
This never ending sound
Echo echo
It flies up hills
It surfs around corners
This never ending sound
Echo echo
In nooks and crannies
All around valleys
This never ending sound
Echo echo
Lurking in buildings
Hiding behind walls
This never ending sound
Echo echo
Echos will never die
They will always be there
This never ending sound
Echo echo
Echo is very in love with Narcissus, but Narcissus doesn’t love her back! Day after day Echo tried to get his attention until her body withered away and she had only a voice! She cant speak to Narcissus only the echo of what he says! Meanwhile, Narcissus had a drink at a small pond and falls in love with himself! Trying to catch narcissus own reflection he starved to death and his body lay a daffodil (also known as the narcissus flower). As for echo she repeats the echo of everyone in the world! And thats how we get echos!
Summer
Echo is everywhere. Under bridges, in small spaces and he is trying to
catch me. His smiling face follows me everywhere. Where should I run, who should I tell? It’s like an unpredictable game of hide and seek.
Winter
Where has Echo gone? Is he too shy to play anymore? Does he dislike the celebrations of Christmas? Wherever he goes, I hope he comes back. Goodbye Echo, will you visit me?
Spring
Echo has not returned. He is probably playing with somebody else who needs him now. Echo is forever gone.
Since then my life has been different.
I woke up to the sound of an echo
I felt lost as I spoke to my sorrows
The birds sing repeatedly, just like an echo
The sun beams brightly into my eyes,
There is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
Just let the echo follow you until the day is done.
Echo echo
These are the words to my life
These are the words to my song
Echo echo.
I feel as if this is my everyday job,
it feels like a movie star,
It feels like someone watching me.
Echo echo into the sun
Echo echo again
