NaPoWriMo 2022 - Day 18

 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
