(Join d’Verse Poets writing “echo” poems…and enjoy reading!)
who may come?
anyone
run as a child
wild
come humble
stumble
from shrouded night
fright
into living light
sight
come poor and needy
lovesick, greedy
come dirty and mean
be clean
hungry, thirsty, or chilled
be filled
come with your doubt
re-route
lay out your fleece
peace
the hour is near
here!

The echos create an uplifting rhythm. Enjoyed this. 🙂

I like the theme of this and the almost skipping quality of it. childlike but very wise.
Aug 14, 2015 @ 16:36:53
I hoped it’s winsome…”skipping quality” yes, thanks!

Such short, short verses and you make them work so well (I admire you, I can never do that without sounding trite). Particular favourites:
come dirty and mean
be clean
hungry, thirsty, or chilled
be filled
come with your doubt
re-route

Great energy & insight here, & the spritely echoes are very well designed & executed; terrific use of the prompt as your politics shine through.
