I pray every night, That things go back to the way they were, I miss talking all the time, Now you don’t say a word And it was so easy for you, To disappear like a ghost, You probably went to someone new, And that’s what hurts the most I wish I could go back in time, I wish I wasn’t so needy, I wish … Continue reading Echo Presents: Pray
By: Zaraye Ridley As my ears hear the sound of the wind as it whistles, And the rain against my window becomes more than a drizzle, The lighting illuminates the night time skies, like fireworks seen in the pupils of my eyes.. Then suddenly.. Thunder claps! And it becomes evident.. A thunderstorm is upon us! Continue reading Echo Presents: Thunderstorm

Poem By: Isaac Linnen The new semester has started With a few bangs I would say. Sadly, winter break melts away, And with it, my time to play. Connection issues now negligible, Computers rarely lag behind. Devices work quite diligently, Technology works most of the time. So now we move along, Distancing from online. A new digital note, paper and assignment? The workload feels fine. Some courses are way easier, Some are thorns in my side. Remembering due work isn’t a hassle Thanks to simple PowerPoint slides. … Continue reading Echo Presents: A Students Perspective Part 2: Electric Boogaloo
By: Veronica Kogan The first word that sprung to mind when reading this prompt was the same one I have been mulling over since quarantine began many months ago: division. Since people have had a lot more time on their hands to mull over political and social issues, division over issues has escalated tenfold to violent civilian eruptions. It’s gotten to the point that civil war does not … Continue reading Echo Presents: My Dream – Veronica Kogan
By: Will Hopkins I have a dream That one day equality Will not be a hope But instead a standard I have a dream That one day justice Will not be a debate But instead a promise I have a dream That one day humanity Will not be about differences But instead about commonalities I have a dream That the one day that I speak of Will not be a faraway fantasy But instead an everyday reality Echo Literary Magazine has migrated this year to … Continue reading Echo presents: My Dream: A poem by Will Hopkins

No more keeping things to myself … Continue reading Echo Presents: Mr. Tubs
a poem by: Isaac Linnen The year has started With a fizzle, not a bang. But the work still comes in all the same. All I can say is “Dang.” From connection issues to user error Computers lag…behind. Constant restarts, shutdowns, and updates, With every boot-up I wonder what will cut out this time. But we move along online From virtual class to class Every … Continue reading Echo Presents: “A Student’s Perspective”
By: Nina Schwelm I’m staring at him now. A beautiful shade of red, with fins like feathers. The tank light reflects on his scales, making some appear blue and turquoise. A few weekends ago, I stared at my failure of an empty ten-gallon freshwater tank that had been sitting on the dresser in my bedroom for well over four years. It received the failure status … Continue reading About My Fish
