Today’s prompt is based on Faisal Mohyuddin’s poem “Five Answers to the Same Question.” The challenge being to write our own poem that provides five answers to the same question – without ever specifically identifying the question that is being answered.
Aon
He leaves you breathless
Frigid is this harsh lover
Crisp are hoar’s kisses
Dhà
Crystallised waters
Pink skies gift confetti gifts
Presents for daughters
Trì
Flames in the darkness
Equinox to be marked
This day we feel blessed
Ceithir
Death links the circle
Reincarnation is best
Life rides a cycle
Còig
When Snowdrops fade green
Epitaphs written in lawns
Sleep now till next seen
Missives & Musings 
Lovely, Graham 💕🙂

I’ve never made it up there in Spring, it’s been a couple of years now – I must return to Alba soon.

Oh — sorry. I thought 1 – 5 was in the Scottish language… oops. In any case, the springing of spring sprang straight at me and I think it’s wonderful.

It is indeed Scottish Gaelic. I just meant I have not been up those parts earlier than June, which is still Spring in some years 😆
