Colleen’s tanka challenge, as always includes the premise that only synonyms for the prompt words must be used…
This week, the words were;
(Yup I used the English spelling for colour!)
Etheree #2 for me, and yes, I went a little macabre, thinking of death…
Gone
No more
Complexion
Takes on a hue
Saved for the lifeless
An eerie calm settles
No pain for you anymore
Yet for those of us left behind
The ones who’ll never see you again
The suffering has only just begunRitu 2018

This week, the words were;
It’s the first of the month so Colleen has given us free rein!
As it is October, I went all ghoulish! And attempted my first Etheree!
Ghosts
Eerie
Roaming free
Spooky beings
Frightening others
Unintentionally
Finding their place in this world
Only looking for acceptance
Wanting to live alongside us all
Near those loved ones they have left behind themRitu 2018

Autumn hues seep through
Though summer attempts to stay
Nature has its way
Inevitable changes
As the world keeps on turningRitu 2018

Sorry sis, I had to write it the British way, not the over the Atlantic way!
Vigour, not Vigor!

Your eyes seek my eyes
Every heartbeat matches mine
Your touch passion filled
The intensity of your love
Shows a strength no one can beatRitu 2018

This week, the words were;
Today, it goes without saying, the verse needs to be a tribute to the happenings of 17 years ago in New York…
One man’s decision
Ended the lives of many
And nearly killed faith
Buildings crumbled, so did lives
But hope is still alive yetRitu 2018
