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

Nightfall, ebon sky

She waits, for that one moment

When he, at last, shines

Tumultuous, the clouds as they sigh,

Gray, like days, they go drifting by

Black, as a moonless, starless night,

Water from my eyes, blurs my sight

Cascading down, perhaps in vain

Are they my tears or just the rain?

She hides in the shadows
Blending in with the night
A young maiden in waiting
For her evening delight

She plans for her feast
At the edge of the wood
This pretty little lady
Is surely up to no good

She appears to be human
A facade quite believing
One trick of her trade
And her looks are deceiving

She thirsts for the blood
Of any human form
Then, once she is sated
She disappears, in a storm

She’s kept her mates waiting
For their dinner, you see
Tis not one that she feasts for
More hunger, like she

Midnight
Darkest hour
No light

Day gone
Fades into black
Moves on

Moon shows
Chases the gloom
And glows
