Emily expired.
Except…
Emily exists.
Emily exists encumbered.
Emily exists erratically.
Emily exists eerily.
Emily exists emotionally.
Emily exists entirely ethereally.
Emily exists enough.
Even evermore,
Eternally…
Emily exists.
~~~
Edward exists eternally.
Edward exudes evil.
Edward evaded exorcisms.
Edward ended everyone else...
…even Emily.
*** Emily is a nice ghost. Edward…well, Edward is not.***

The Ground does not deserve you
There are places you return to out of habit, not belonging. Rooms that once held you because you didn’t yet know you had the right to leave. People who mistook your endurance for agreement, your silence for consent, your presence for loyalty. Coming back to the ground with clarity means seeing all of it without the old fog softening the edges. You stand in the doorway of your own life and realize that some of the ground you’ve been walking on was never meant to hold your weight.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Dirty rotten Edward! "Whatcha gonna do when he comes for you? Bad boy! Bad boy!"
very well done on this one!
Don't know how I missed this, seeing as how I love ghosts a lot. This was really great. Love them evil old timers.
Awww, & I always thought Edward was such a righteous dude! Not as righteous as Emily, but...." I absolutely love the way you express yourself, Donna. In this case, it's rather blunt, to the point, & as direct as any child I have ever heard. It's perfect.
A book in the works for kiddos, or adult kiddos, perhaps?
Wait, this isn’t just a tautogram, it’s a full blown story! Very nice. 👻
I think when if we encounter either Emily or Edward it may not feel that great- lol. Love the story within the poem ♥️
Very well done.
Exceptional! ❤️
Fantastic Donna 😀👍
Excellent!
Wow! 😍❤️ This is amazing, Donna! I am mesmerized by this!
Excellent take on the challenge
Ooooo, I like Edward, lol! Brilliant tautogram!
This was great, I love that you made a tautogram and it had a real plot! You developed Emily and Edward well! 💜
Nice job
