Note: I wrote these seven poems a week ago in seven variations of the same theme. If one changes one or more words it can change the meaning yet stay within the same theme. The reader can decide which poem resonates the most with them and tell me in the comment section below which number it was. If you would be so kind?
I have written all seven poems in the haiku style of poetry and published them on my blog for the first time today, the 14th of September, 2019.
