Hollow Ghosts
~
phantoms out to play
haunting and hunting lost souls
vacuous specters

This is my ghoulish offering for Halloween and Collen’s #TankaTuesday poetry challenge. This week her challenge words are Ghost and Hollow. The challenge is to write a poem with synonyms of those words in classic forms like haiku, tanka, senryu, haibun, etheree, or cinquain.
Happy Haunting!
writing to freedom 
Spooktacular Brad! 😊
