Free Haiku-15：Proverb with multiple meanings

There is this proverb: "Don't let your daughter-in-law eat autumn eggplants." There are two opposing interpretations of this proverb: one is that autumn eggplants are delicious, so the mother-in-law does this out of spite, and the other is that autumn eggplants cool the body, so the mother-in-law does this out of kindness.

Train ride: a short story

By Emma C

The movement on the train was chaotic.

Sickening.

He had the nerve to sit next to me, playing with the hem of his newly sewn coat. He tore it last night during our argument. It was a well worn coat, yet he wanted the brittle leather sewn carefully back together. All of our lights were out from the storm, so I had only the light of a candle beside me as I drew the needle in and out of the delicate, ripping fabric.

And here he was. Playing with the hem I had so freshly fixed. I reached my hand over and hovered it about his own. I turned my eyes to meet him, his sandy hair hung over his vision. Still, I widened my eyes and furrowed my brow. Don't you dare. I threatened. His hand fell away and I turned my gaze towards the window yet again. The rolling countryside was luminous under the midday sun. This was our first time on a train, at least the way we were now.

When I was a little girl I had gone on a train, but it was unmoving. I went with my mom. She had done my yellow hair up into nice, perfect little braids. Little pink bows were weaved into the braids, and my mother had spent all morning trying to wrestle me down so she could doll me up. Now, her hand held onto mine, her white knuckles wrapped around my small, supple hand. She pulled me forward, onto the stationary machine.

I looked at the person next to me. Although we had known each other for a decade, the wall he erected between us was unmatched in size. My cold, white knuckled hand had wrapped around him many times. I too pulled him onto this train, and into his new life.

The bags in the stow-away boxes above us rattled and chimed with every movement of the train. He stared at me with those cold, blue eyes. I felt his eyes on the back of my head. They drilled into my skull and wormed their way through my face into a red hot spot on my cheeks. Don’t look at me. I thought. His eyes did not sway. Suddenly I was the one playing with the hem of my shirt. My long hair, now silver with age, was tied up in long, loose braids.

Just how my mother would like it.

Imagine spending all your energy being cool and mysterious 24/7.

What an idiot have I mentioned I love him?

Idea came from a cool post @nouverx made about Alastor’s possible sleeping habits. 💕

The girlies are fighting… (featuring mentions of a friend’s OC)

Textless version can be interpreted as POV you're being bullied by mean girls or something

Hypothetical exchange based on Leona giving Jamil this ⬇️ piece of advice during Book 6

If this statement doesn’t literally also apply to Jamiyuu ships if Leona knew about things in universe… he’s a Jamiyuu shipper and he’s getting impatient (/j).

And instead of defending himself, I believe Jamil’d just pick something to fire back about because he’s like that. Men who can’t be direct or honest for their lives, sigh.

Rose

The flower,

Or the past tense of rise?

That's all I'm wondering.

An object, a regular metaphor,

Against a verb for risen.

We don't recognise that much,

The meeting of two ideals

And the crossroads for ideas.

What a curious word.
