Spirits beckon you
Hail the feelings within
Fear not the darkness
For it will echo through you
When the night becomes alive

For this week’s challenge, Colleen has chosen Ghost and Hollow as the prompts. But there’s a catch!! #SynonymsOnly! Rules can be found at the link below! Have fun!
The
Spirits
Are restless
Tonight, they howl
With the wind, blowing
Like a banshee, screaming
Into space, they float away
Bringing them closer to nothing
They disappear in the emptiness
Spectral beings, ever lost, in the void

No one asks, where the howls come from
The screams, the forsaken, echo, and thrum
A mysterious glow, envelops the house
No one dares near it, not even a mouse
For evil lies heavy where no man has been
The howling of spirits, releasing their sin
Cast away these beasts, ungodly, at best
Immortal creatures, no longer blessed
Demons, each Lucifer, an evil disgrace
Still fight for their right, on this Earthly space

For this week’s challenge, Colleen has chosen Color and Creepy as the prompts. But there’s a catch!! #SynonymsOnly! Rules can be found at the link below! Have fun!
Soon
Spirits
Will awaken
White, cloaked, alive
Halloween shows life
Eerily, they float near
Unearthly beings scheming
Awaiting the moment when you
Your guard down, allow them to enter
And the blood red of your face disappears

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
