This Is Just To Say

It's Friday and that means it's time for another Poetry Appreciation post. Keeping it simple today; that's one thing I love about poetry- simplicity. Saying only a few words, yet speaking volumes. Today's poem, "This Is Just To Say" by William Carlos Williams, is one of my favorites because it is crisp and fresh and flavorful much like the pilfered plums. Take a moment to savor it.

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
