    • VERSE: A LITTLE LONGER Cover
      by LovelyMay A Little Longer invites reflection through its quiet refrain, suggesting that everything—joy, pain, beauty, sorrow—is held in suspension just for a moment more. The poem walks alongside the reader, not rushing toward an ending but encouraging presence in the now. The world is not static; it is alive with subtle movement—violets bloom, birds call out, soft breezes lift petals, and each sunrise feels like a promise. Yet these gifts, as lovely as they are, are not permanent. They shine briefly,…
    • VERSE: A LEGEND OF BREGENZ Cover
      by LovelyMay A Legend of Bregenz begins beneath the silent peaks and beside the still waters of Lake Constance, where time seems to pause and the city breathes in centuries of memory. Bregenz, tucked into its mountain cradle, stands not just as a town but as a living tale—its towers and stonework holding secrets of loyalty etched into legend. When night falls, the city appears unchanged by modern life, cloaked instead in a sacred hush that recalls deeds of devotion long past. It is in this sacred quiet that an old…

      Vacation Time

      Vacation Time Cover
      by LovelyMay 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…

    • Unimportant Differences Cover
      by LovelyMay Unimportant Differences opens with a quiet but firm reminder: what truly defines a person isn’t their background, beliefs, or affiliations. A man’s religion, political stance, or social status may catch the world’s attention, but it’s the heart behind his actions that leaves a lasting imprint. A life marked by kindness, fairness, and the ability to bring happiness to others speaks more loudly than banners or labels ever can. When all the surface layers are peeled away, what remains are the simple…

Within the first notes of her mournful voice, the past stirs—an echo not just of her own pain but of a lost civilization’s quiet dirge.

    • THE SHADE OF HELEN Cover
      by LovelyMay The Shade of Helen opens not with the clang of armor or the shouts of battle, but with a voice drawn from memory and myth—a presence caught between time and truth. From the soft folds of a world untouched by mortal desire, Helen’s shade emerges not as a figure of conquest but of quiet sorrow. She does not ask to be remembered by glory or theft, but by the place where her spirit once walked under rainlight and starlit leaves. That world, marked by stillness and grace, seems more real to her than the…

      The Scoffer

      The Scoffer Cover
      by LovelyMay The Scoffer begins with a tongue-in-cheek confession: the narrator admits he might have ridiculed pioneers like Franklin and Fulton had he lived in their time. He paints vivid images of his imagined mockery—laughing at Franklin’s rain-soaked kite experiment or sneering at Fulton's steam-powered dreamboat. It's a humbling admission, illustrating how progress is often met with disbelief before it's celebrated. The speaker reflects on the ease with which many scoff from the sidelines while visionaries…

    • The Real Successes Cover
      by LovelyMay Chapter 39 titled "The Real Successes" speaks to a truth often buried beneath society's obsession with wealth, status, and outward displays of power. It invites readers to shift their gaze away from the glimmer of riches and toward those who live with purpose, kindness, and unwavering integrity. Success is not found in how tall one stands in the business world or how many accolades decorate their name, but in the quiet moments of moral courage, loyalty to loved ones, and strength shown in hardship. A man…

    • The Other Fellow Cover
      by LovelyMay The Other Fellow begins by pointing a subtle mirror at the reader, revealing the quiet habit of believing others have it easier, happier, or more successful. We imagine someone else’s path as smoother, their burdens lighter, and their days filled with victories we rarely experience. It’s an instinct rooted in comparison, often sparked by small disappointments in our own lives. Each missed opportunity makes another’s win seem bigger. Every struggle exaggerates the ease we think others enjoy. This…

    • The Old, Old Story Cover
      by LovelyMay "The Old, Old Story" begins with the quiet frustration of chasing something just out of reach. The speaker recalls setting out with hope, only to hear the same phrase again and again—“You should have been here yesterday.” It becomes a refrain that shadows more than fishing trips; it echoes a wider truth about missed timing. Success always seems just one day behind, and that memory of better chances becomes both a comfort and a taunt. Yet the speaker doesn’t complain bitterly. Instead, he waits with…
