Chapter
Vacation Time
Vacation Time stirs a vivid image of long-awaited freedom, especially seen through a child’s eyes. It begins with a boy trapped in the closing weeks of school, where every clock tick feels exaggerated. His mind, already playing in open fields or beside gentle streams, barely stays in the classroom. He pictures sunshine, the thrill of being outdoors, and the end of pencils and recitations. When the teacher’s voice breaks the daydream, it feels like being pulled from a place far more alive. Each school…-

VERSE: THE VOICE OF THE WIND
The Voice of the Wind opens not with fear but with an invitation—to gather near the fire, to draw warmth and comfort from its steady glow. Outside, the storm rages, yet inside, a false sense of peace lingers. But the wind, wild and persistent, refuses to be ignored. It pushes against the windows, it screams through the cracks, and it carries with it memories the earth has long buried. In its cry is the clash of elements, a moaning lament that reaches farther than the eye can see. Though no one bids it…-

Ballad: Baines Carew, Gentleman
Baines Carew, Gentleman was not just a man of the law, but one profoundly attuned to the emotional burdens of his profession. While other attorneys might tally fees without blinking, Carew felt each case like a blow to his conscience. Whenever he needed to enforce a legal action—be it a simple eviction or the seizure of a debtor’s assets—he experienced it as a personal failure, not a procedural success. His empathy was so intense that even issuing a formal letter felt like a moral compromise. The…-

His presence had always unsettled the usual order, as though he neither fit in nor chose to stand out. With his passing, the town seems to recalibrate, reducing its view of humanity to two simple types…-

Ballad: The Two Majors
The Two Majors introduces a peculiar bond shared by two stern yet admired military officers whose command style thrives on discipline rather than praise. Major La Guerre and Major Makredi Preper, though gruff in demeanor, are paradoxically beloved by their men for their steadfast standards and unwavering consistency. Neither offers compliments, but both deliver sharp and frequent reprimands, which, surprisingly, becomes a badge of honor for their troops. This dynamic underscores a curious truth about…-

VERSE: A Contrast
A Contrast opens with an invitation to reflect on a closed chapter of life, framed by an old ebony casket filled with tokens from the past. The scene is not dramatic, but deeply personal—inside are weathered letters, a delicate ring, a once-cherished locket, and most tellingly, a small portrait tied with a crimson thread. Each object carries the weight of memory, not merely sentimental, but transformative in what they once meant and what they now represent. The portrait is especially significant,…-

Chapter
When Mother Cooked With Wood
"When Mother Cooked With Wood" conjures more than an old way of preparing meals—it recalls a time when cooking meant more than speed and simplicity. The narrator acknowledges the benefits of modern appliances but doesn't hide their preference for the old rituals of food made over fire. There’s a memory in each crackle of wood and every puff of smoke that wafted from the kitchen. While today's gas or electric stove gets the job done, it cannot recreate the experience of gathering and splitting logs or…-

VERSE: GRIEF
Grief arrives not with warning but with weight, pressing into the life of the narrator like a silent, ancient force. It is not a visitor—it is a presence, both cold and constant, that claims space within the soul. Wherever there is warmth, it steps in to dim the light. Moments of laughter fade under its shadow, and joy becomes brittle, as if it were never meant to stay. The poem presents this emotion not as a passing storm but as a pale sentinel, always nearby, always watching. In every quiet moment, its…-
