A YEAR IN POEMS 4/21/2021

 

“I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold”

William Carlos Williams. "This Is Just to Say"

I have an ongoing debate whether this is a poem or an actual note. It is elegant in its simplicity and in the way he brings the sensual into the mundane.
