A different kind of storm for my take on this weeks prompt from one deep breath. Saturday my grandmother had a stroke. As of now the doctors think she'll be fine, but she'll be in the hospital for at least a week for observation/recovery. When my dad and I visited with her Sunday afternoon, she recognized us and was able to ask us questions and follow the conversation. I'll take that as a good sign.

more stormy breaths from the poets at one deep breath
I hope your grandmother is fine and makes a good recovery. Excellent haiku.
Yes, a stroke is a frightening storm. May it be over and with no lasting effects. It is also a good 'ku, IMHO
I hope your grandma gets better.
And your haiku speaks so much truth.
Unforgiving was a perfect description in your haiku. May she recover quickly and fully.
Yes, fantastic haiku - it's so true about the effects of a stroke being like a sudden, powerful storm. My thoughts are with you and your family, as your grandmother works to recover. Hope she is feeling and doing much better soon.
how true, the way the body undergoes storms of its own...may your grandmother heal and be well
wonderful view of this week's prompt
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers :)
I hope your grandmother is on the road to recovery now. Powerful haiku!
I agree, very powerful. It's a scary place to be, but I'm happy she is doing well. May her progress continue. Keep writing, this is great.
Lovely & sad haiku - I'm sorry for the stroke that inspired it though. Interesting: "Storm" is exactly how strokes are often described in medical circles.
Thoughts & prayers for your grandmother's recovery.
Best, Neasa
a gust...no notice...perfect description of a stroke. Hoping the best for your grandmother.
