April 18, 2022 - write your own poem that provides five answers to the same question – without ever specifically identifying the question that is being answered.
I
The paddle creates a ripple
water drips off in patterns
as the canoe cuts
silently
through the calm glassy bay
II
Laughter echoes
from the dining room
voices talking
over one another
to one another
with one another
III
Opening a brand new book
becoming lost in its plot
pages turning
one after another
as the afternoon disappears
IV
Birds alight at the feeder
You don't even need to know the season
if the birds are there
My juncos and house finches
found their way home
V
There's comfort in silence
we need not speak
to know we are heard
