We're only 3 days from the finish line--actually 2 days after you finish today's prompt. Yay!
For today's prompt, write a "the world without something else" poem. If you remember on Day 3, I had everyone write a "the world without me" poem. This prompt imagines the world without something else, whether a person, place, thing, etc.
Here's my attempt:
"Strep Throat"
No one would miss you;
I know I wouldn't.

And yes, I'm still very sick, but I've discovered I'm suffering from a severe case of strep throat, not the flu or a cold. I've actually slept 26 of the past 32 hours, so needless to say, my poem today was hard to pull out--even at two lines. I did get a shot and some pills yesterday, so hopefully I'll start feeling better soon and can finish the month strong with everyone else.
