Sometimes things don’t
come out exactly as we may have intended them to.
Can the plan
A tetractys on fact
to miss
Oops.
Efforts,
Energy
May be wasted.
Purity of planning brings truth to light.
Can a hero make a clean getaway,
If his efforts
Leave white space
Where hope
Flees?

NOTE: This house isn’t exactly the archetype for any of Laura
Ingalls Wilders’ LITTLE HOUSE homes. However, to answer the Write 31 Days
Challenge prompt question, I’d have to say that was one series for which the
last page made me sad to be finished. Of course, that was many … many … many
years ago.
