Note: I wrote these ten poems in the huiku style of poetry a few days ago and published them for the first time today, the 21st of January, 2025. I started with Version # 1 and added a different last verse or line which keeps with the theme of the poem but slightly changes the meaning. This is a practice that I started some time ago. I ask the reader if he or she would be so kind as to let me know the number of the poem that most resonates with them by leaving a reply in the comment section.
