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 being answered.

I’ve written five haikus as five different answers for the question in the title of the poem.

Poem Title: Have you felt the presence of God?

Yes, I did find Him
I found Him in alluring
beauty of nature

I see Him smiling
in the innocence of child
pure, ingenuous

My work is blissful
I worship Him in my verse
I spot him in hues

He's in my lover
He looks out for me through him
I feel His presence

In my heart He dwells,
I see Him within myself
guiding, blessing me
