Failure

Chasing what you want-

You lose part of yourself when

Failure strikes you down

~End?~

Hey guys, hope you found this haiku relatable! In the meantime, for those of you who are fans of literary satire fiction, Click here to check out James: A Novel- A reimagining of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view!

While many narrative set pieces of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light!
