Today is the first of Colleen Chesebro‘s Tuesday Tanka Challenges this month and so we can pick our own words.
Well I am going for an Etheree this week and as it is October of course it’s got to be ghostly. My words to be used Synonymously are Ghost and Purgatory.
Trapped
A soul
In torment
Banished always
From the light of love
Invisible, watching
Only heartache and deep pain
Endless agony no escape
All you can do is watch afar
Forgotten, unloved a tormented soul.
