Poetic Asides (well, in fact, Robert) said we might like to write a poem that describes the world without us/me. Ha, very hard, indeed. So, here is my modesty at full display. Honestly, I feel so.

Without me
The world is still the same
As stupid as this sounds
So sorry…

“Without me
The world is still the same”
Who knows? It would have to be at least approximately 1 out of 7 billion or so different
Enjoyed your aside.
I don’t think I’ll be doing anything to change it, either…
Iself – thanks a lot! A slight difference, maybe..
Stan – even if I wanted, I’m not sure I would be able to, anyway… Thanks a lot for reading!
Yes, the world goes on, doesn’t it?
Anthony – sure as death
Very true. Most of us aren’t really even here this very moment. I swear to God.
Ron. – I’m afraid you are right! Thank for stopping by!
It’s time to watch, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” again. We all matter, some just a bit more than others do.
You never know how you have affected the life of one person on this planet for the better. Just that one action, to a stranger, five years ago, might have been the best thing that ever happened to that person. We will never know.
It’s a humbling thought, but it probsably applies to most of us.
Ah, but we would be missing your poetry… Good write!
Mike – you are right, of course. I just felt a bit embarrassed to highlight my own significance
christine – you have a good point there. Well, we never know…
Thanks for stopping by!
vivienne – yes, I think most of us (poets) are somewhat shy to start boasting about how important we are
Thanks for stopping by!
Gloria – you are so nice
Thanks!
