Imagine the world without you
Robert’s prompt today is to imagine the world without you.
Here’s what he wrote:
Today’s prompt is to write a poem in which you imagine the world without you. Since my favorite movie (It’s a Wonderful Life) plays with this idea, I’m surprised I’ve never used this prompt before. The world could be a much worse place without you, could be pretty much the same, or I guess, it could even be better. Anyway, it’s interesting to contemplate our individual contributions to this planet in ways small and large.
I was playing with ideas for a poem earlier today but came up empty handed so far. Do I want to imagine that I was never born, or just went up in a poof of smoke yesterday…maybe something in-between? I’m thinking I’ll try imagining the world without the me that I have become. Hmmmm…
If I get lucky, I’ll have something to post before I go to bed. What do you come up with using this prompt?

I have thought about the wonderful yet tertiary relationships on the web. The followers and friends that I have never met in person. The people who know I’m into adaptive technology but don’t know my mailing address or if I’m an only child or not. Would they ever know….How would they know if I were gone? How would I know if they slipped away?
So my wee Sunday poem using Robert’s prompt.
A WEB GOODBYE

I’m tweaking…. I don’t know if it helps but I think I have a bud of an idea here.
