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
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.

Goes to bed hungry
Probes the gap between her teeth
But there’s nothing there
