It’s Tuesday and time for Colleen’s Tuesday Tanka Challenge.
Here are your two words for Here are your two words for this week: Empty & Space. Now the twist is we can only use synonyms for these words. I have chosen to write a Tanka. Read into this poem what you may. I feel it has more than one meaning.
EMPTY & SPACE
Filled with nothingness
The void is a vast expanse
We travel alone
Each locked in hollow feelings
Spent, expired in the dead zone.
If we were having coffee , every Sunday
there's plenty more where the first year came from
Or not, depending on my mood

Probes the gap between her teeth
But there’s nothing there
