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

The garden of life

Once teeming with peace and love

Suffers from neglect

Vampires should know better
Never indulge in something so sweet
Chocolate is sure to whet the appetite
The sheer enjoyment just can’t be beat!

Now that autumn has returned
And Halloween is not far behind
They’re getting themselves ready
For a night that’s quite sublime

Although, some have started already
Raiding houses in search of a nibble
They aren’t looking for necks, oh no
Over this, they try not to quibble

They gathered together to set out a plan
Each one would go his own way
Remembering not to cross one another
They would follow the moon until day

There was a young lad, new to the game
He stole from the others, how dandy
Overdosed on what he had in his sack
Now he’s in the ER, coffin’ candy
