Poem for April 8 - National Poetry Month

Just under the wire!

I also don't remember where I first read/heard this poem. It just strikes me as kind of absurd but poetic. But I guess you could say that about a lot of William Carlos Williams' poems.

This Is Just to Say

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
