She could never get it quite right
Mixed the craziest things together
Fire and brimstone, all through the night
Eye of newt, pinch of rat and a feather
She stirred the cauldron many times
Until she couldn’t stir any longer
So, into the pot, she decided to climb
Thought the brew should be a bit stronger
All you could see were boots on her feet
On her legs, orange stockings of lace
Twas told her nectar was hard to beat
As should be, in any witch’s case
Bubbles made their way to the top
One by one, they escaped in the air
Esmeralda stayed, no, she didn’t stop
Sucking down her brew, without care
When the others arrived to sample
Her head was still stuck in the crock
This witch wasn’t setting a good example
She was drunk to the hilt, what a shock!
They tried to pull her from the pot
They couldn’t budge her, not an inch
Esmeralda now known as a wicked old sot
Best be careful, you could be her next pinch

Colleen has given us free reign over our choice of words. I chose Spector and Possess as mine and only used synonyms to write my Tanka! 🙂
Frightful October
Goblins and ghouls awaken
Bones rattle and shake
Spirits take flight on this night
And I covet the darkness

He completes me, with a subtle air
That surrounds us both, like a cocoon
He wraps his arms around me, I find
Solace and safety, knowing this
Will always be our lives, together
As close as two can possibly be
We are equal, spirits, lovers, friends
Lifetime partners, sharing hopes
Dreaming of tomorrow, rejoicing
Our world is one, as we are one
A single entity, an unending bond

There were crazy purple critters
Crawling across my nice green grass
Slinking, slithering, on their way
How could they be so crass?
To change the color of my yard
Into some kind of psychedelic mess
I wondered if it was the gal next door
The one who wore purple, I’d guess
She always seemed rather odd to me
I could never quite figure it out
Very strange things did happen there
Of this, I’ve not a single doubt
Venturing out, onto the grass
I couldn’t stay long, because of my asthma
By the fence, I could see her searching around
“Have you seen my dear purple plasma?”
I knew, there was definitely something wrong
I ran back inside, as fast as I could
No way in hell, I was touching those things
Time to find me a new neighborhood
