Today’s prompt is “based on Faisal Mohyuddin’s poem “Five Answers to the Same Question.” Today, I’d like to challenge you to write your own poem that provides five answers to the same question – without ever specifically identifying the question that is.” (Full NaPoWriMo post available here.)
Here’s my response, with a few more answers to the same question than the sample poem.
