Chapter Twelve

by testsuphomeAdmin — The chapter introduces Cyrus Shams, an Iranian-American navigating life in the Midwest during the post-9/11 era, where he grapples with xenophobia and cultural alienation. Cyrus perceives natural phenomena like storms and sunlight as personal affronts, reflecting his broader sense of isolation. His upbringing is marked by microaggressions, such as a math teacher’s racist joke and a social studies teacher’s condescending remarks about U.S. intervention in the Middle East. These experiences highlight…

Chapter IV — The Bhagavad-Gita

by LovelyMay — Chapter IV begins with Krishna sharing a truth hidden by time—one that was once passed from the Divine to enlightened sages but has since faded from the awareness of the world. He tells Arjuna that the same sacred knowledge of selfless action and Yoga was taught long ago to Vivaswata and handed down through generations, but over time, it was lost. In revealing it again, Krishna makes it personal. He reminds Arjuna that although he appears in human form, his divine nature is timeless and eternal. When the…

The Call

by LovelyMay — The Call begins with an image of something just out of reach—a vision of joy standing atop a distant hill, calling gently but firmly to those below. It is not a loud cry, but a steady invitation for hearts that long for peace after struggle. Though the path winds and rises steeply, the promise at the top offers enough light to keep weary souls moving forward. Life’s burdens might weigh down the climb, but the hope of something better pushes each step onward. The hill is symbolic—not just of effort,…

VERSE: TRUE OR FALSE

by LovelyMay — True or False immediately brings into question something many people often accept at face value—love. But not every act that appears loving is true, and the poem unfolds this truth through vivid, contrasting layers. It shows that love may look the same on the outside—spoken in sweet tones or written in letters—but its core can be selfish, performative, or conditional. Some love simply wants to be adored, not to give. Others admire only the idea of love, not the hard work it demands. Still, the rarest…

Ballad: Peter The Wag

by LovelyMay — Peter The Wag found joy not in enforcing the law with stern authority, but in coloring his duties with mischief and mirth. A constable by uniform yet a jester by nature, Peter made his beat into a stage for playful deceit. Those who turned to him for the time received an answer far from accurate, often an hour too soon or too late, depending on his mood. When asked for directions, he responded with conviction, sending travelers off in curious loops and far-flung paths. While some giggled at the unexpected…

Ballad: The Captain And The Mermaids

by LovelyMay — The Captain And The Mermaids presents an unusual yet charming tale from the briny deep, where the admiration of mythical beings meets the vanity of man. Captain Capel Cleggs, known more for his decency than his stature, never anticipated that a simple habit—standing by his ship’s open port with his legs on display—would draw an audience. But there they gathered, the mermaids, lured not by siren songs this time, but by the curious allure of well-formed human legs clad in polished hose. To them, the…

Ballad of the Philanthropist

by LovelyMay — Ballad of the Philanthropist begins in a place where peace reigned so steadily, it became nearly unbearable for one man sworn to uphold the law. Pomona Road and its adjoining gardens stood as an exemplar of domestic civility—each house adorned with floral perfection, each resident attuned to quiet harmony. Chapels echoed softly on Sunday mornings, not a single public house disrupted the order, and disputes, if any, never rose above whispered discontent. But amid this polished calmness walked B. 13, a…

Off the Turnpike

by LovelyMay — In this chapter titled Off the Turnpike, the narrative leaves the fields of betrayal and memory behind to follow a quiet but profound act of departure. A woman, elderly and reflective, prepares to leave the rural road she has known for decades. Her bags are modest, the porch still smells of fried dough, and her neighbor offers a final plate of warm doughnuts in a gesture that bridges affection and farewell. Though her manner is calm, her decision carries the weight of decades—leaving a place she has…

Roya, confused but intrigued, follows suit,…
