The contrast between the raging storm and Grandma’s embrace is stunning. You’ve captured the warmth of love that even death can’t erase.
That's two very distinct, and well-wrought, haunted haikus! The loving embrace of grandmothers, nevertheless, dispels the fiercest hells!
I love how grandma was and still is a source of comfort/protection.
Oh Jason, this was both blissful and scary. Cheers to grammas everywhere.
🖤Aww, this made me tear up. In only 3 lines you managed to bring the presence of my own grandma to the room.
Ooh, I'm flitting between comfort and threat here, it can work either way!
I saw the old lady. I naively thought she wasn’t going to be a problem. Someone that I should be afraid of. Then… this was chilling. I had to read it again because I guess I like to hate being scared lol. In other words this was fantastic. The black and white image also made sense after reading. To the point where I didn’t even notice it was black and white at first. Or rather… didn’t think it would matter later. You made everything count and I love this for that 🤗♥️
That’s tender and beautifully haunting! Sometimes love lingers longer than the body ever could. ✨
Awww, this was so touching and bittersweet. Loved it so much!
Nothing better than grandma’s hug. It’s a pity they cannot stay eott try h us forever!
Makes me think of my Gramma and how she had these ways of easing fears when I was a child... like turning over the pillow to the "good dream" side after having a nightmare. Grandmas are just comforting that way. Great haiku!
Comforting, but then again, maybe not? I really like this one, JB!
Memories stay with us, even in difficult times
Made me miss my granny. Great Haiku!
Haha! Creepy, but its good to know she still has your back.
Oh, how I remember cuddling with Gma when the storms raged outside. Great haiku, Jason
very comforting; thank you for that memory.
Beautiful, this brought me back to the hugs I get from my dear grandma.
Even though this has ghostly vibes to it, it’s in such a sweet way. Reminds us that our loved ones are never really gone. 💜 Well done.
