Note:   I wrote these five poems in the haiku style of poetry last week with the same theme yet by changing one verse giving it a slightly different meaning in each of the five poems.  If you would be so kind as to record the number of the poem in the comment section that most resonated with you personally.  I published these five poems for the first time today, the 12th of August, 2026.
