After reading a great poem, Narcissus and Echo, by Fred Chapell, I decided to try my hand at echo verse...and failed miserably (I like exploring fixed or structured poetry, even if I end up writing the poem in free verse most of the time). I've tried on and off for a bit, never with any success.
I was wondering if anyone here had attempted writing echo verse and could share their experience, or if anyone had some thoughts they would offer on the attempt. I mean, heck, if people write sestinas that make sense, you'd think some rhyme tricks wouldn't be beyond them. *grin*
