Note:  I wrote these poems a few days ago in the haiku style of poetry and published them for the first time today, the 18th of October, 2022.

I thought about either making one long poem or publishing them separately as five poems.  By changing one line of each poem one stays within the theme yet expressing it in a slightly different twist.  I will ask my readers if they would be so kind as to leave the version number that resonated the most with them in the comment section under this post.
